✈️ Muscle Monday: Neck & Shoulder Tension After Travel

Long road trips and cross-country flights are part of summer - but they’re also a recipe for tight necks, sore shoulders, and stiff backs.

Here’s why:

Car and plane seats don’t support the natural curve of your spine.

Sitting still for hours causes muscles to lock up.

Luggage lifting and awkward posture (hello, neck pillows!) add extra strain.

🚙 Whether you’re behind the wheel or in the middle seat, your body feels the difference.

Tips to ease the tension:
• Stretch your neck and shoulders every couple of hours
• Bring a lumbar support pillow or rolled-up towel
• Stay hydrated - it helps muscle elasticity
• Walk or move right after your trip ends

Feeling tight already? You’re not alone—and a recovery session can help your muscles rebound faster so your vacation memories don’t include a stiff neck.

🌿 Muscle Monday 💪
Why Gardening Can Lead to Lower Back Pain?

Summer gardening is a great way to get outside, move your body, and enjoy something peaceful—but it can also lead to surprising strain on your lower back.

Here’s why:

Bending over for long periods (even in short bursts) compresses the spine and tires out postural muscles.

Twisting or lifting heavy bags of soil, pots, or tools without engaging your core can irritate the lower back.

Repetitive motions like weeding, digging, or raking can overwork small stabilizing muscles.

🌱 A few tips to prevent discomfort:

Use a stool or kneeling pad to reduce bending

Take breaks every 20–30 minutes to stretch upright

Shift positions often—don’t stay twisted or leaning to one side too long

End your gardening session with a few gentle back and hip stretches

If you’re already feeling tight or achy, focused bodywork can help release tension, improve mobility, and get you back to moving comfortably.
