Overcome neck pain and tension with this surprising gem of a physical therapy guide, The Sitting Solution

I always forget that this happens. Then every time I purchase an ebook bundle or participate in a sale I get knocked in the head with it. I chuckle. I get happy. I say, “yes, of course.”

Which is a part of what I love so much about these sales.

What happens? My expectations get flipped completely on their heads. There’s always a darkhorse candidate, one I didn’t even know existed, that takes me completely by surprise and ends up being my favorite resource in the entire bundle.

Once, it was “dog yoga.” Another time, a cookbook devoted specifically to cooking kale.

This time, it’s Sitting Solution, The Paleo Secret’s guide to overcoming back and neck pain.

It’s by two doctor’s of physical therapy, Brenda and Chad Walding. It’s beautiful. It’s simple. And it just may be another one of those stumbled-upon gems that saves my life.

 

I haven’t suffered from chronic pain in my neck and back, per se. But I have been a long, long-time sufferer of tension headaches. Tension headaches are arguably the most common kind of headaches around (tension headaches and migraine headaches can account for almost all head pain in one way or another). In fact, I happen to be a bit of an expert on headaches, even though I don’t talk about it on the blog much.

I am an expert because the first twenty or so years of my life included headaches perhaps 50 % of the days. That’s not a number to sneeze at. In college, I almost dropped out sophomore year because I had a migraine headache that lasted an entire month.

Over time, I figured out what was going on. To this day I almost always know the exact cause of my headache and what I need to do to overcome it.

One of my most common causes is neck, shoulder, and back strain. This comes from having poor posture or being stressed out.

I’ve learned how to avoid these problems in one way or another. Or at least I can feel them coming. Then I do some stretches that really help.

But what if there are stretches I can do on a regular basis to alleviate my tension and my propensity for headaches?

Win.

 

So I went through this simple guide. It’s got

-an introduction that tells us all about how widespread this problem is — somewhere in the neighborhood of 70-80 percent of Americans experience neck or back pain

-a detailed diagram and description of “Upper Crossed Syndrome” (this is a new one for me), which explains why neck pain can be a product of poor posture and other modern stressors, and

-Six simple daily exercises and stretches in detailed photo and video form

..For example:

And “Wall Angels”:

There’s a boatload more — lots of revolution in this quick, simple guide — and the vidoes are particularly helpful.

More than anything, there’s an elongated feeling in my neck, which I like very much.

So you can check this out! It’s another one of those kickass resources I stumbled upon when I dug into Paleo Plan’s Primal Life Kit over the weekend.
