Posture...

Mantra: shoulders back, chest out, ears aligned with shoulders, shoulders aligned with hips and this is my ritual now.

Ever since my neck injury in March this year where a MRI detected a herniated disk in neck (C-5), I've been going to physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic therapy to help me in dealing with my neck injury. With the help from Dr. Mark and his staff, I've been working for the past 8 months trying to re-learn how to work and live with new guidelines. I used to work on the computer with hunched shoulder and bad posture. During my treatment with Dr. Mark, he noticed the my shoulder area had developed bump due to scare tissues that built up. He also noticed that my left are was not as developed as my right arm. Apparently, veins weren't shooting correctly and my left are began to atrophy. But, with exercises with a rubber band and stretching, my left arm is slowing building muscle mass.

I'm very grateful for Dr. Mark and the treatment he's giving me for my neck injury.
