| I had these notes for the longest time about POSTURE AND EMOTIONAL STRESS: Posture has more to do with the neck than most people realize. The head and spine must balance in relation to the line of gravity. When poor posture - or obesity, weak stomack muscles, or prolonged sitting - pull the curve of your lower back forward, the upper back curves further backward, forcing the neck to curve forward to compensate. Jobs or hobbies that require a lot of leaning over tend to make people hunch the shoulders and arch the neck forward. Wheatever the cause, if the considerable weight of the head is off-center even a little bit, the neck muscles tighten or contract, creating muscular fatigue. When the neck muscles stay contracted without rest, pain in the neck, similar to a headache, results. The only long-term cure is improved posture. Your doctor may advise you to check yours with the "wall test". Stand with your back to a smooth wall, heels several inches from the wall. Buttocks and shoulders should touch the wall. The back of your head should be close to the wall. Keep your chin level. Walk away; then return to check your position. Try to carry yourself this way all day. Sometimes, even a night's sleep can cause trouble. If you lie in bed face down, sleep on a pillow that's too high, the neck can be put out of line. Most of us have had the resulting "crook" in the neck, also called "wry neck". Fortunately, this condition almost always goes away in a few days without a doctor's care. Emotional stress brought on the worrying about one's job or family, or holding back feelings of anger, sadness, or fear, can contract the neck muscles, too. It can also aggravate neck injuries. The nervous, tense person may take longer to recover. Regular relaxation and constructive problem solving may be needed for relief of this problem in the long run. |
