Pillow Just Isn’t Supportive Enough
– Sleeping On A Bad Mattress – Hunched In Chair All Day – Yard Work/Gardening – Carrying Too Heavy A Load
Sitting In Office All Day, Everyday Hunched Over Desk
Should Have Stretched Before That 6 Mile Run
What is this Cervical Muscle Release everyone is talking about?
- In our perfect world imagine your spine aligned in balance and moving together in harmony. From our cervical atlas down to our lower back and sacrum, our supporting spinal muscles gracefully move in extension and flexion gliding over each other with ease and grace.
- Where do we hold all our stress? Our neck, shoulders and back, of course!
- By addressing the primary culprits of pain and stiffness deep within, our cervical neck muscles are where we begin.
- While our deepest cervical muscles surrounding our neck become strained, stiff and painful, the holding pattern created becomes unbearable over time. We must set these deep muscles free thereby creating an unrestricted range of motion.
- Three sets of ‘deep’ triangular muscles surrounding the back of our neck wreak havoc… along with the frontal muscles that attach our sternum to our ears. These are ‘some’ of the primary muscles that create chronic pain in our neck, shoulders and upper back.
Do you suffer from?
- Chronic headache, migraines, head pressure
- Tension along the base of the skull
- Bodily pain, especially in the joints
- Anxiety, restlessness, especially fight-or-flights symptoms
- Trouble sleeping through the night
- Ringing in the ears, TMJ, tingling in the hands
- Brain fog, fatigue, depression
- Scoliosis, hip and leg imbalance
What amazing feedback we receive from those reaping the benefits of CERVICAL MUSCLE RELEASE! We continue to help a wide variety of people seeking relief from neck tension, headaches, back and shoulder pain, brain fog, neurological imbalances, tingling in their hands, jaw pain, leg length discrepancies, and more.
TINGLING IN HANDS AND ELBOWS
Tingling in the hands and elbows was the complaint from an eighteen-year career massage therapist. She was forced to temporarily shut her business down. Two days post treatment she told us “I have done five massages since I saw you and have had zero pain in the elbow. Nice work!”
DEBILITATING NECK AND BACK PAIN
Debilitating neck and back pain forced a newly retired college professor to seek desperate help. She was amazed. “Thank you, Val, for enlightening me about Cervical Muscle Release. These treatments were a life-changing event for me. My headaches are gone. I can stand up straight again and this has simply improved my sense of well-being. I can now travel and enjoy retirement! Never thought I’d see this much success.”
HEADACHES AND BRAIN FOG
How is one freshman fifteen-year old young man able to jump into high school when his doctors came up blank? The headaches, general malaise, brain fog and lethargy took such a toll on him. He was forced to drop out for the semester. His mother contacted us pleading, “please help him!” His first visit was in October. It took five full days to notice a change. He had slept for up to twenty-one hours each day. On the fifth day his headache improved from a pain scale of 10 down to a 3. He felt more alert and focused. We were on the right track! His second session brought further relief and a dissipation in his vertigo. Spring semester he returned to school.
IMMEDIATE RELIEF, LONG TERM HEALING
Physical healing from Cervical Muscle Release usually occurs that first day. Almost immediately, the sub occipital neck muscles, shoulders and upper back experience a soften that allows for much improved range of motion. Improvement in our emotional, physical and spiritual well-being usually takes longer. Sometimes up to several months. Clients feel lighter, more free, better able to focus.
LET THE HEALING BEGIN
Whether suffering from headaches, extremely tight neck tension, back pain, neurological imbalances, tingling in the hands or other related complaints it is clear that Cervical Muscle Release can offer a significant improvement on your quality of life.
Our addiction to mobile phones has created a painful hazard. Note to self: “text neck” is real and it IS a pain in your neck. Better known as “forward head position”…
…text neck literally adds ten pounds for every one inch forward your head sits.
TEXT NECK
…The most common postural shift identified by massage therapists. As our head moves forward it becomes functionally heavier. The human head gains 10 pounds of weight for every inch that your head is positioned forward and down. A simple head position of two inches forward and you are now adding 20 pounds of head weight just sitting on your painful shoulders and back.
Yoni Whitten, DC, writes in the ABMP journal that the supporting muscles of the head have to work much harder. “It should not be possible for the joints of the spine to move normally while held in a forward head position.” This is a real problem we face today.
YOU CAN CORRECT THIS PAIN IN THE NECK
Correct your posture and get out of the habit of looking down at your phone. Daily check-in’s with yourself when standing, seated and walking matter. You have the power to stop that pain in your neck. Body posture and awareness makes a difference in our quality of health and life.
#CervicalMuscleRelease may be your answer to functioning head positions.
Many of my clients describe themselves as depressed, anxious or both. Think about it honestly. What percentage of your ability to process daily stress, nervous tension, anxiety or depression stem from someone else’s energy or a particular location’s energy as well as your own energy field?
I read a fascinating article in my ABMP magazine worth pondering and wanted to share. Author Cyndi Dale makes a thoughtful argument for both.
“I OWN IT!” or “IT’S NOT MY FAULT.”
How often have we heard that? Understanding what might lie in the energetic realms affecting us may help in our ability to process our energies, own up to it and heal from it.
For example, I had a client that always arrived with a seemingly black cloud hanging over her head. She was depressed, in pain, yet was unwilling to make the changes to help her heal. She explained that her childhood was painful and her “conditions” were similar to her mother’s. So it was all her mother’s fault. And therein lay her excuse for everything in life.
Cyndi Dale believes that “up to 80 percent of the energy initiating a problem might be absorbed from somewhere, or someone, else. (Simply put) we cannot process energy that isn’t our own. Once it’s stuck in our body, it can cause physical, psychological, or spiritual maladies.” The question to ask my client was, “what percentage of the depression was caused by your own energy versus someone else’s?”
We cannot process others’ energies because they don’t match our unique energetic signature. So how could I help my client release energies that were not their own?
First, we need to evaluate for ownership of our personal energies and maladies. Can we get a sense of the differing percentages? Do you have a sense of each owner of that challenging energy? Is it all you or do you blame a person or location for your woes?
Second, we need to release these energies. They should not be able to own us. Are we willing to be freed from others’ energies? Make that change in an oppressive location that brings us down? We need to surrender the invading energy to a Higher Power. We can then fill the empty space with energies provided by this higher help.
Let us seek to empower ourselves. We have the ability to control our energy field and heal ourselves. No excuses please. Embrace it, own it all and love ourselves for it. #CervicalMuscleRelease #Depression #Energy #Healing
