dwp_spinal_injuryWhen I looked more closely at my surroundings I noticed that my the placement of the computer may have something to do with the way I round my posture. Then I began to look more closely to the way people carry their frame when in motion. Gravity does take a toll on the skeletal system, but remember, your muscles hold up your skeleton and the muscles are contracted by thought impulses created by a neural network that connects to the CNS, central nervous system. These pathways are created by years of conditioning and bad postural habits. Most chronic aches and pains happen over time, a build up of added pressures and the heavy burden of grasping for more material happiness may cause a stress related injury such as neck and back pain. Movement is medicine, learn to use the wall in your house to support a posture that extends the spine. Use the floor and do bow pose or cobra. These movements help stretch the body in the opposite direction of the cause of dis-ease. The more you move your body, the better it oxygenates the blood circulation. Circulation heals aches and pains simply by the logic of if your toilet is clog, its gonna stink up your bathroom and the same goes for the human body.
