💥YOUR NECK IS STRONG💥 - 👏🏼 Great post from @adammeakins, which emphasizes what I tell my patients everyday: "Your spine is much STRONGER than you think!" 💪🏼 - 📚 Studies have found that the neck is exposed to 60 pounds of force when its titled forward when looking at a phone! 😱 Many of you may have heard of this referred to as "TEXT NECK SYNDROME" - 🚨 Sounds dangerous, right? Hold my phone... - 📚 Previous studies such as Przybyla et al (2007, Spine), have found that neck segments from cadavers (dead bodies) can tolerate 560 pounds before they suffer structural failure! - 🤯 That's the same weight as a full barrel of crude oil! 🛢 - ☠️ And thats in DEAD, non adaptable tissue, so think about what LIVING human spines can tolerate! 💪🏼 - ❌ I’m sick and tired of all the nonsense and fear mongering in the media and from healthcare professionals about necks being fragile - ✅ Necks are strong and resilient and can be made even more so with training - ⁉️ Can looking down at your phone for hours SOMETIMES contribute to neck pain? Of course. But so can sitting in a stiff erect posture for long periods, looking up for long periods performing overhead work, and for many other non-specific reasons that have nothing to do with your position or movement! (stress, lack of sleep, depression, anxiety, poor nutrition, etc) - 💥 Having pain in your neck does not mean that you are injured or have a weak spine! And looking down at your phone is not dangerous! - 📣 So please spread the word to your friends, family, coworkers, or anyone else that needs to hear this message! YOUR NECK IS STRONG!

Treatment Reactions / Side Effects The majority of people (70%) have a reaction to treatment after an Trigger point Session. Treatment reactions are a natural part of the overall effect of TPT. We have become accustomed to going to the doctor and receiving a pill or remedy, which usually works within a few hours. TPT seems to work differently. TPT taps into the body’s own healing mechanisms, and these often take a few days to adjust and rebalance. Curiously, from research it seems that the worse the treatment reaction, the better the improvement that seems to follow it!

Vitamin D deficiency is implicated in almost 90% of patients with
chronic musculoskeletal pain (Plotnikoff 2003).

Most think that resting an injury will cure it. In most cases, simply resting can help an acute injury develop into a long standing chronic issue that is even harder to fix.
Had an acute or chronic injury? Get it taken care of ASAP.
