Does exercising matter to an artist?

Just like any profession, a sustainable and thriving career as an artist or any creative role requires prioritizing self-care and physical health. Taking proactive steps to maintain your well-being is not just a personal choice; it’s an investment in the longevity and quality of your work.

Sir P realized this after recently developing shoulder pain at his desk work as an Art Director. He was also enduring chronic low back pain since 2022. His assessment showed that he was stuck in a swayback posture.

A swayback posture happens when your hips shift too far forward that causes your lower back to arch excessively. To maintain balance, the upper back compensates by rounding, which collectively places compression on the lower back and shoulders. This domino effect contributed to his chronic stiffness and pain.

After 6 training sessions with us, he's gained noticeable progress:

Assessment:
❌ Swayback posture
❌ Hips shifted forward, lumbar arched excessively
❌ Rounded upper back and depressed shoulders
❌ Rib flare, lacking core tension
❌ Trunk twisted to one side
❌ Chronic low back pain
❌ Shoulder pain

Progress after 6 weeks, 1x/week training:
✅ Improved overall postural alignment
✅ Resolved low back and shoulder pain

We cannot deny the fact that there will always be a rainy season. Yet, there will always be someone who chooses to show up, rain or shine. Here's to some of those who did. 💪 Keep safe everyone and enjoy the rest of the week!

Persistence shows up in all sorts of ways.

It could be the passion that you have to reach a goal.

Other times, it's the toughness you build from bouncing back after a setback.

Sometimes, it's as simple as having the patience to wait for your turn.

That's the kind of persistence we saw in Sir M. He came to our clinic without an appointment, and was determined to finally get his sciatica treated after seeing us on Facebook. We were fully booked at that time, but instead of leaving, he decided to wait. We were impressed by his patience and noticed his determination to get better, so we accommodated him last minute. His persistence shows even during his training sessions with us, as you can see from the improvements he made below.

Doc D asked us to help him with his chronic neck and upper back pain, and occasional lower back pain. These started during his years in medical school and continued to persist for years, and would usually trigger during stressful days. His pains are worst when on duty as an Emergency Doctor. The pain would be constant even at rest, and there were times when he had to take IV painkillers because it became intolerable.

His assessment showed that he was stuck in a forward head posture and upper back roundness that put more pressure on his neck. Looking at the bigger picture, we could see his abdomen is bloated and his pelvis is stuck forward, possibly causing a downward collapse of his trunk and neck.

After months of training, we were able to relieve pressure from his neck and upper back and managed his chronic pain. He's also now able to move with better postural integrity and without pain.

Assessment:
1️⃣ lumbar shifted forward, anterior pelvic tilt
2️⃣ lacking core tension
3️⃣ rounded upper back
4️⃣ forward head posture, cervical compression
5️⃣ chronic neck and upper back pain

Progress:
✅️ balanced lumbar and pelvis
✅️ core supporting the upper body
✅️ ribcage closer to midline
✅️ neck supported, head more balanced
✅️ drastically less neck and back pain
