Quick Tips
It takes 6 weeks to see small changes in strength
It only takes about 2 weeks of inactivity to start losing strength, but it takes about 6 weeks to start gaining strength. Keep that in mind when starting a new exercise program to avoid advancing too quickly and causing injury.
The food we eat can impact our pain levels. Nutrition is a factor in the development of chronic pain
Nutriition is another key component in building healthy muscles, decreasing tissue inflammation, fueling the body for day to day tasks. Eating real foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains can help prevent and manage chronic pain.
For good head and neck posture, keep your ears stacked over your shoulder
This posture promotes the muscles in your neck and scapulas to engage and keep you from having a foward head and rounded shoulders, which can cause tight pecs, weak scapular and cervical muscles. It can also create difficulty breathing from increased compression to the lungs, increased headaches from tightness in the scapular and cervical muscles.
