Pain is something I take very seriously. I have fought with repetitive strain injuries, joint weakness, sports injuries and seemingly inexplicable, crippling, and extremely tiring chronic pain of all kinds since I was 16 when an ocean wave did my back in. I know pain well, and I know that its causes are myriad! From my experiences with pain and my studies of various theories of pain, I can tell you three very important things. Here are the first two:

I am still doing the exercises and have noticed the forward head posture also decreasing. I’ve finally found someone who can help with the aches and pains that come from my posture problems!”
