Can poor posture really lead to significant neck problems, or is it just a myth? Uncover the real impact of modern lifestyles on your cervical spine as I, Kris Harris, with 18 years of dedicated experience in personal training and Pilates, guide you through the essentials of maintaining a healthy neck. We explore the anatomy of the cervical spine, delve into the consequences of excessive screen time, and analyze common injuries like whiplash and herniated discs. Learn why keeping a neutral posture is crucial and how specific Pilates exercises can be the game-changers you need to alleviate neck pain and enhance your overall well-being.
Discover the core principles of Pilates and how they can transform your neck health. In this episode, we unpack the importance of correct alignment, core engagement, and controlled movements, all fundamental for a strong, injury-free cervical spine.
