Orthopedic fun fact 💡

The average adult head weighs between 10-12 pounds, and your cervical spine and neck muscles work constantly to keep it balanced and mobile. When your head is in a neutral position with your ears aligned over your shoulders, your neck handles this weight efficiently. But when you tilt your head forward to look at your phone or lean toward a computer screen, the strain on your neck muscles increases significantly. The further forward your head moves, the harder your neck has to work to support it.

This is why "tech neck" has become such a common complaint. Those sustained forward postures put extra stress on neck muscles and structures that weren't designed to handle that kind of prolonged strain. Small adjustments like bringing your screen up to eye level instead of constantly looking down can make a real difference in reducing neck discomfort.

Our Jeans Day donations this week benefit Operation Walk New York, and we're sharing Sandra's story to show you the impact of this mission.

"Before surgery, I had days I could barely move," Sandra said. During Operation Walk New York's October mission to Ghana, she took her first steps after receiving a free joint replacement surgery. After surgery, Sandra acknowledged the normal discomfort but her face lit up as she talked about feeling better already. She displayed relief at getting her life back and her regained hope.

"Operation Walk is doing a great job. We are very, very grateful," she said. Sandra is one of 95 patients whose lives were transformed during this mission. Hundreds more are still waiting for the same opportunity to walk, work, and hope again. Your donations help make the next mission possible so more young people like Sandra can reclaim their lives.

Physical therapy is one of the most effective treatments for many back and neck conditions. Our therapists work closely with spine patients to reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent future problems. Each treatment plan is individualized based on your specific condition and goals. You'll learn proper body mechanics to protect your spine during daily activities, strengthening exercises to build core stability, and flexibility techniques to improve range of motion.

For patients recovering from spine surgery, physical therapy is essential for optimal healing. For those managing chronic conditions, ongoing therapy provides the tools to maintain an active, fulfilling life.

Sometimes, giving hope means staying late and doing one more surgery. Today's Jeans Day supports Operation Walk New York, and we want to share Matthew's story. 🌍

Since 2018, severe hip deformities made it extremely painful for Matthew to walk. In 2022, he learned about Operation Walk New York and held onto hope. During the October 2025 mission to Ghana, Matthew was selected for bilateral hip replacement on day one. However, complications meant only one hip could be safely replaced initially. Matthew's recovery went well. On the final day of surgery, the team voted unanimously to stay late and replace his second hip. The surgery was successful, and Matthew was walking the next morning with a huge smile on his face. He sent a heartfelt note to the team thanking them for renewing his hope and giving him a chance to move forward with life in ways that were not possible before.

This is why they want to go back to Ghana. Support their mission at operationwalknewyork.org

Through the month of January, all of our Jeans Day donations are dedicated to Operation Walk New York! 🩺

This past October, the Operation Walk NY team returned to Ghana for their best mission yet, helping 95 patients who had lived with disabling pain for years. These are people who couldn't work, study, or care for their families because of severe joint problems. The team included SOS employees like Kim Murray, Vinny Marino, Amelia Cerio, Jim Colone, and many others who volunteered their time and expertise to restore mobility and hope. They shared their experience on a recent episode of Good News York: sosbones.com/sos-employees-featured-on-good-news-york-discussing-the-2025-operation-walk-ny-ghana-trip/
