14.01.2022 Neck Pain and Shoulder Stiffness in Cold Weather When the winter chill is around us, it is very common for your aches and pains to feel stronger and to be with you more often. You feel like huddling up in a ball to try and keep warm. Many people also move less in cold weather because they feel stiffness with general movement. Even manageable neck and shoulder symptoms can suddenly become more difficult to handle in cold weather.... If you understand what effects cold air can have on tissues of the neck and shoulder region, you will be able to take positive action to help yourself minimize neck and shoulder pain and stiffness in winter. When temperatures drop why can neck pain and stiffness be experienced? *In cool weather our nervous system may trigger changes in the body, where muscles tighten up to constrict blood vessels in the arms, neck and shoulder blades. This is thought to be a reaction to decrease heat loss from the limbs and body periphery, enabling body core temperature to be maintained to vital organs. *Lengthy periods of muscles being held in a shortened, tight state can increase our perception of pain. *Feelings of anxiety and fear can be enhanced in cold weather which leads to increased negative nervous system responses. *Discomfort, niggles and pain in the neck and shoulders are often related to poor posture when temperatures drop. *It is common to do the following in cold weather: Lift and hold your shoulders tightly. Round your mid-back by slouching. Poke your chin forward. This change in posture can lead to pain. *Discomfort in cold weather can also stop us from moving as often and as well as we should be doing daily, which generates joint stiffness with decreased muscle flexibility. Once again the fear we hold within our nervous system becomes the driver for decreased movement or poor movement patterns. What can I do to ease my neck/shoulder pain and stiffness? *Avoid cold, damp places with drafts. *Wear warmer clothes (even when indoors) cuddly scarves, hats, thermal vest, gloves, thick socks, jacket with collar. *Safely use hot packs on your shoulders, mid-back or neck. *Avoid curled up, hunched over, sloppy posture. *Allow your shoulders to be relaxed and gently down. *Tuck your chin in gently with your eyes straight ahead, feeling your neck grow long. *Circle your shoulders forward and back with small movements. *Relax whilst sipping a favourite drink and feel good about yourself. *Go for a brisk 15 minute walk, several times a day, wearing warm clothing. *Swim in a heated pool. *Relax in a spa or hot bath. * Book a massage

07.01.2022 We live in a need it yesterday society. Dropping kids off, picking them up, racing home to cook, overloaded with work deadlines, fighting traffic the lists goes on and on and on. We never find time for ourselves. When we are in this constant race of physical activity our bodies are in what’s known as a Sympathetic response. It’s our tense nature of being in fight or flight mode. Fuzzy and unclear thought processes from an overcrowded mind. The Parasympathetic response i...s your rest and digest mode, your relax mode the opposite to that tense on edge feeling. Swedish Relaxation Massage generously promotes this Parasympathetic response. Make some time for yourself, not tomorrow, but today. Listen to your body and attend to those tense muscles. Contact me and let’s work out the next step in your well being regime. My mobile unit will come to your home or work, set up and treat you in your preferred environment; you need not worry about a thing. See more
