Steemit Stretch

There is an epidemic in Health today...  no not that Zika scare... it is musculoskeletal disorders.

These are repetitive strain injuries that affect the muscles, nerves and even the vertebrae.  These can become irreversible (and require surgery) without constant care and vigilance.

The most afflicted are Hairdressers, Dentists and yes Bloggers (STEEMIT) who maintain the same posture and repetitive motions in their tasks.  This is also the same phenomenon affecting those addicted to their "Smart" phones.

My wife is a 35+ year full time Hairdresser... I know and interact with many more, they all have some or all of these issues that this stretch helps considerably.  But I must say one stretch alone will not cure you, you must make it a daily (several times) habit to battle the long hours you work in the opposite repetitious straining position and motions.

The constant compression of frontal muscle groups in the neck and chest are exacerbated by the constant (Over) stretched rear muscle groups.  Combined with both raised arms (for constant contraction and strain) all work to add strain to the spine and compression on the nerves, tendons and muscles.  This stretch reverses this postural repetition and should be done frequently... of course there are other simple stretches that should also be used, but  this one is the most helpful as it releases the neck, chest, shoulders and arms.

Some of the additional problems mentioned can be Carpal Tunnel and Cubital Tunnel Syndrome, but can also lead to full body difficulties, muscle weakening, fatigue and loss of motion.   And all of these can cascade and set in deeper health issues that really can become chronic.

I know this issue personally as my wife and her colleagues and friends all share this issue... so please share this video and share this vital stretch that will help combat this issue... even Steemit Bloggers like you.
