Imagine a life free from the nagging pain of a stiff neck and aching upper back. Join me, Courtney, your guide and personal trainer, as we explore actionable strategies to combat the discomfort that plagues our modern sedentary lifestyles. We’ll uncover how everyday activities like desk work and driving can sneakily influence our posture, leading to that persistent muscle tension. Together, we'll practice envisioning a string pulling from the crown of your head to correct forward head posture—a simple yet powerful tool towards achieving better alignment and easing muscle stress.

Throughout our episode, I share easy movements and stretches you can incorporate right into your daily routine, without having to carve out extra time. From opening your chest with hands behind your head to engaging the mid-back with exercises like rows and Lat pull-downs, these strategies are designed to promote mobility and strengthen your upper back for lasting relief. We’ll also touch on the significance of varying your sitting positions and identifying compensatory patterns that might be affecting your body’s overall movement. If you’re ready to embrace midlife and aging with grace, join our community, share these insights with others, and let’s journey towards a healthier, more confident you.
