There are so many modern-day misconceptions and myths in healthcare and medicine. One is the idea that we carry our tension in our neck and shoulders.
Like many of these misconceptions, it makes perfect sense on the surface.
Perhaps you work long hours in a stressful job, and by the end of the day, you feel tension in your neck and shoulders. This seems intuitively correct.
But what if I were to tell you there was more to this story?
Clinically, a broader perspective helps us better understand what's happening and what you can do to rid yourself of this long-term.
In this video, I discuss why carrying stress and tension in your shoulders feels correct, but may actually be a symptom of something else.
And the key to improving this requires more than relieving your stress, despite how important this can be.
