Do you know that old saying “out of sight, out of mind?” This is especially true when it comes to the posterior chain of our bodies.
Most things in life are in front of us. Phones, computers, steering wheels, handlebars, utensils, mirrors…. The actions happening in front of us draw our bodies forward, rounding the shoulders and pulling the head out of alignment. As a result, those muscles that support our structure shorten and tighten, further reinforcing the forward pull. All the while, we are using our back-body muscles less, which creates an imbalance, causing neck, shoulder and low back pain. This is called upper crossed syndrome.
I’ve seen upper crossed syndrome happen in people who spend several hours a day sitting in a chair or in a car. It’s getting so bad that people are even getting Botox shots in their trapezius muscles to release the tension.
The good news? Alkalign can help. Here’s how:
Align trains us in posture, alignment and core strength. The focus on physical therapy and corrective exercises both reverses what has been done as well as helps prevent further decline and imbalances.
Rolling helps loosen up the tightness that accumulates in our muscles and fascia.
Build specifically targets and strengthens muscles that are underworked in our day-to-day lives.
The combination of all 3 classes is pure magic.
Spend countless hours with body workers, pain management specialists and surgeons, or spend a few hours a week with the Blue Crew. Your body, your choice.
