Free your neck to function better
As I sit here writing an article on postural tips for business travellers for one of the national magazines, I'm more than aware that the same principles apply to most other occupations and daily activities. Whether we're wanting to perform better at tennis, or any sport for that matter, or whether we're making a business presentation, or needing to be fresh for a meeting after a long haul flight, or picking up the baby, we need our co-ordination to be functioning well. In other words, we need to be in balance, not straining or stiffening unnecessarily, and we need to be breathing! All things we take for granted, but can let us down at the critical moment.
The one big thing that can help with everything else is keeping our necks free of tension. This may sound stupid or simplistic, but most of us are over-stiffening our necks.....all of the time. The head is so heavy (4-5 kilos) that any imbalance here will upset our whole body, causing tensions, stiffness and interfere with our breathing. Freeing your neck of tension will lead the way for better posture, calmer disposition as the blood circulation to your brain improves, greater clarity of thought, more wakefulness, less strain, avoid headaches and lead to greater stature. In short it can help you earn more money and win the tennis match.
