THERAPY THURSDAY
As the temperature drops fast here in New England…
Yes, wear the scarf!
🧣Tension headaches. Neck tightness. Shoulder soreness. These issues seem to all come along with colder weather. What’s the difference from summer? Our neck is often exposed to the colder air, we shrug our shoulders, we end up with tightness and tension. It’s a natural instinct to shrug to keep our neck warm.
🧣In addition to practicing good posture by gently squeezing your shoulder blades together when sitting or standing up tall, wearing scarves or high collars when out in the cold (or even your ice box of an office in some cases) can make the world of difference.
