The Body Connection has reopened as of Monday, June 1st. Be assured additional cleaning and safety protocols are in place. Please do wear a mask to your appointment. Arrive as close to your appointment time as possible to minimize wait time in our reception area. Ideally, we would like to have you come directly to your therapist's treatment room. If you are experiencing any symptoms of illness, fever, cough, sore throat, lethargy, etc., please do call to reschedule your appointment. Thankyou. We look forward to seeing you again.

📍CHEST UP... to bring your shoulders wide apart while the ribcage remains stacked. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📍CHIN BACK ... towards the back of your skull (not down towards your chest).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📍 LENGTHEN the BACK of your NECK... lifting that bony point at the back your skull right next to the letter "c" (called the external occipital protuberance).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Neck position can be a tricky thing to correct because our body innately counteracts the position, adapting the center of gravity to keep us balanced. This is awesome for preventing falling down when we move around. Not great if we are sitting at a desk or looking at a phone all day and our head remains in the forward posture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This forward head position creates an array of muscle imbalances throughout the body. Which, in turn, causes pain, joint issues, and even a diminished ability to breathe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For a little application homework this week, notice when your head goes forward towards a screen when you're directing your focus. Follow the cues to correct your neck position and instead use your eyes to focus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Exercises are important but positioning is essential. How does your body respond when you follow the Foundation Training cues for neck position?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

At this time, the Body Connection Massage Clinic is closed due to the Covid19 pandemic. We are awaiting the go ahead from the state to reopen. Be assured we will make every effort to have a safe environment for our clients to return to when we are able to reopen. As previously, we would ask that you please do not come to the office if you are experiencing fever, cough, extreme lethargy, etc., for your own health as well as that of others. Thankyou. We hope to see you soon.

For the next holiday or birthday, instead of shopping for toys, consider spending that money on a family vacation.
