Pain doesn’t show up for no reason — it shows up because something in your movement pattern or mechanics needs real attention. At Maine Ascent, we believe in individualized care that gets to the root cause so you can sustainably return to hiking, skiing, golf, tennis, surfing and all the outdoor things that keep you feeling alive.

This January, don’t settle for temporary relief. Choose long-term movement you can trust.

DM START to see if we’re a good fit — we’ll help you figure out the next step, clearly and honestly.

🎄Holiday Stress Anyone?? 😵‍💫🤪

Try these 3 movements to help with neck and mid back pain:
✨Cervical Retraction- Slide your head backwards like it is on a shelf giving yourself a double chin. Push to end range with your hand.

✨Thoracic Extension- Stand about 1 foot away from a wall, with your knees bent slightly. Slide elbows up the wall while leaning in. Breathe out at the top.

✨Diaphragmatic Breathing- Lay on back with one hand on your chest and one hand on your belly. Try to expand your ribcage and fill your belly like a balloon when breathing in. Breathe all of your air out through your nose only. Your belly hand should rise and fall, while the chest hand remains quiet.

🎁 Give yourself the gift of wellness if you are having any persistent pain!
