If you're one of the many people who suffer from neck or shoulder pain, you know how it affects different aspects of your life.
Neck and shoulder pain affect your quality of sleep, it may cause you to skip our certain activities, it creates emotional stress, and if it's chronic, it can even lead to feelings of hopelessness and depression.
The relationship between the neck and shoulders is such that people who experience pain in one often experience pain in the other. Common causes of neck and/or shoulder pain include:
- poor posture (poor body positioning when standing and/or sitting)
- spinal misalignments
- being sedentary
- long hours in the same position (i.e sleep positioning and ergonomics)
- muscle imbalance
- spinal degeneration
- osteoarthritis
Our Therapeutic Series has been designed to teach you a tool box full of practices, ranging from yoga poses, to self-massage techniques, to better ergonomics.
We’ve found that this multi-pronged approach successfully helps manage, mitigate, and sometimes even resolve pain, so you can get back to your regular daily activities.
Join us for our 4 week Healthy Neck & Shoulders Series starting Thursday, April 20, at 11:45 a.m. Click here for details and to register.

We hope to see you soon!
