Wednesday Q&A: Neck & Shoulder Tightness, Foam Rolling, Carbon Fiber Running Shoes, & Self-Love

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A;, where you ask questions and we answer them!

In this Wednesday Q&A;, we answer your questions about neck and shoulder tightness in waitresses, foam rolling, carbon fiber running shoes, and cultivating self-love. 

Your questions: 1. My client was a waitress for years. Her left side was always tight and stuck from it in the neck and shoulder. She used to get headaches but is no longer waitressing. I could guess and come up with some things for her to do, but rather go straight to you since neck issues scare me. Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.  2. Curious of your thoughts on foam rolling or such devices. Effective? Worth the money?  3. Could you discuss the modern type of running shoes that have carbon fiber in the soles? I have heard they are a “game changer” for performance. But if they are stiff, I was wondering about the impact on leg mechanics. A friend's son, who's 25 years old, runs in them about twice a week and has just severely sprained his Achilles, and it made me wonder. I should add the friend's son is training for an ultramarathon, so doing lots of miles, even if only twice a week. 4. How do you cultivate self-love?
