Posture and Athletics - Pain in the Neck!

That knot! That knot that everyone wants you to rub on. You know the one I am talking about. The knot between the neck and the shoulder. That one that is tight and burns and aches. That one that you have told your clients about a thousand times over that it is due to their posture.

As I travel the country speaking on the shoulder, posture is a pretty big component of my seminar. Usually, I speak about posture in the context of the more numerically mature population. However, it seems like daily I am having younger and younger athletes complain of that levator area knot and pain.

"Can you massage it for me?" Sure, I can massage it for you, but it is going to come back!!! Until there is a purposeful intervention to stabilize the core and scapular region, it will keep coming back - again and again and again!

It isn't just athletes who have this problem. A tremendous number of production workers and people with desk jobs complain of the exact same scenario.

I recently attended a shoulder conference where I was re-introduced to a product that I feel could actually help posture, pain, and ultimately performance! It is Intelliskin (click here for more information).

Let me encourage you if you are an athlete, worker, or anyone with neck and shoulder pain (and perhaps even headaches) to investigate Intelliskin!

Wishing you health and success,
Joe
