Shoulder pain isn’t always just about your shoulder!

A study found that people with shoulder pain often have:
🔹 Less neck mobility, leading to greater disability
🔹 Worse outcomes when pain lasts longer, especially in older patients

👉 Takeaway: Treating shoulder pain works best when we look at your neck too. Addressing both can lead to better results, which is what we do!

Better sleep starts with the right pillow! 💤🛏️

Want to stay healthy and active as you age? Your diet plays a significant role. 🥦🍎

A 30-year study found that people who eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, healthy fats, and low-fat dairy are more likely to age strong, sharp, and disease-free.

Eating less processed meat, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats also helps.

The takeaway: Choosing a balanced, mostly plant‑based diet with some healthy animal‑based foods can help you stay active and independent well into your 70s and beyond. 🙌

Tennis elbow isn’t just for tennis players—it can happen to anyone who uses their hand and wrist repeatedly, like typing, painting, or lifting at the gym. This overuse causes tiny tears in the forearm tendons, leading to pain, stiffness, and grip weakness.
