PART 1: Do you have rounded shoulders? Typically along with this you may notice your head comes forward or your back is a little hunched. Maybe you also experienced neck tension, headaches or jaw pain? But then again, you don’t have to experience any of that, but you can still have rounded shoulders. Some people want to get out of pain while others just want to look normal and not like a gorilla. There are a few areas of the body we have to look at specifically the glenohumeral, joint, a.k.a. shoulder, joint, the scapula, a.k.a. shoulder blade and the thoracic spine, a.k.a. upper back. We also need to look down the chain to the hips and core as well. If you can take a systematic approach, balancing out the restrictions or tightness on one side of the joint while simultaneously building strength on the other side of the joint you can get yourself to a better position and keep yourself there. In this video, I show how do I address the shoulder joint, the shoulder blade and the thoracic spine with a total of six exercises. In Part Two which posts after this video, I will show a great hip exercise, which can build a foundation for you to be successful in maintaining an upright posture, and stop looking like a gorilla with rounded shoulders. #posture #roundedshoulders #forwardheadposture #neckpain #headaches #migraines #tmj #shouldermobility #stretching

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know that I will be leaving my practice at An Essential Knead at the end of February because I am moving to Windsor.

The move is very bittersweet for me, as I love my clients and my friends/colleagues at An Essential Knead and it has been a wonderful experience that I am truly grateful for. My last day will be Feb. 25th, 2021 and my calendar is open for booking until then. I hope to see you before I go, but if it is not possible, I wish you well and thank you for our time spent together.

Don't forget, if you're ever in Windsor and you need a massage, I would love to see you again! Happy trails everyone...stay safe and happy!
