What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a form of acupuncture that focuses on a Western medical approach rather than utilizing Traditional Chinese Medicine practices. This technique involves the insertion of fine needles into anatomical structures responsible for musculoskeletal conditions.

Multiple needles are typically used during a session and are left in for several minutes. Electrical stimulation can also be used to enhance treatment.

Benefits:
✔️ improves local blood flow ✔️promotes healing
✔️decreases pain
✔️improves muscle tone

[THE OFFICE] pt. 3
-
By the end of the work day, do you ever feel or look like the above picture?
-
Upper cross syndrome, is characterized by front rounding of the shoulders, forward neck position, winging of the scapula, and elevated and protracted shoulders. This is due to:
-
1. Tight chest muscles (pectoralis mjr & minor) + tight upper back muscles (upper traps & levator scapulae)
-
2. Weak front neck muscles (deep neck flexors) + weak mid-back muscles (rhomboids and serratus anterior)
-
This position can lead to pain in the neck, mid back, and shoulder. Stay tuned for exercises and stretches to combat upper cross syndrome!

[THE OFFICE] pt. 2
-
Sitting for a prolonged period of time and clacking away at our computers can lead to poor posture.
-
To help improve your posture, assess your work station and make improvements to ensure that it’s as ergonomic as possible.
-
1. Adjust your 🖥
The top line of text should be at eye level.
-
2. Adjust your chair
Your upper and lower back should rest snugly along the back rest. If not, think about adding a lumbar support cushion. Also, you want your feet to be resting flat along the ground.
-
3. Adjust your ⌨️ & 🖱
Place your mouse as close to your keyboard to avoid unnecessary reaching. Have your keyboard at a level which allows for your arms and elbows to rest parallel to the floor.
-
4. Get up and move!
Take a short walk and get yourself a snack or a drink to keep yourself fuelled for the day.
