While most people assume injuries happen playing sport, twisting the wrong way or lifting something – the truth is sitting around can be just as bad for the body. So what warning signs should you be looking out for when it comes to posture related injuries?
The Harvard School of Medicine may have only just proved it, but Bowen Practitioners have long been aware of neck and shoulder pain resulting from poor posture or badly designed work stations. The Trapezius and Rhomboid muscles are working hardest when keeping the head immobile for working or sitting, so these suffer the most. Chances are if you have neck or shoulder pain, these will be the culprits. The lower Trapezius can also contribute to frozen shoulder or pinched tendons in the shoulder joint.
Now, with the arrival of Bowen Therapy, there is another bowstring in the fight against Neck Pain. From the moment of diagnosis, Bowen Therapy’s Upper Back & Neck procedure begins reducing pain and swelling of the Trapezius and Rhomboid muscles. Bowen Therapy is a set system of small moves, the technique is a gentle, fast and effective way to treat muscle and connective tissue disorders. The Bowen Therapy client can, within weeks, enjoy activity, if not sport, without pain. In some Bowen Therapy clients, Neck pain symptoms have been known to cease altogether in three to six months instead of years by conventional means.
