Living with Bad Posture & What it Can Do To You

, ,

Living with bad posture can result in muscle and ligament imbalances that result from poor alignment. This can lead to all sorts of problems:

  • chronic neck, back and shoulder pain
  • foot, knee, hip & back injuries
  • headaches
  • Stiffness
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle atrophy & weakness
  • difficulty breathing
  • impingement & nerve compression
  • sciatica
  • carpal tunnel syndrome

Good posture holds the key to relief of not just back pain, but sometimes other common body complaints too. Good posture helps improve:

  • headaches
  • constipation
  • tingling & numbness in hands & feet
  • bachaches
  • headaches

The human body was designed to move - not sit in a chair for several hours at a time, slouched over a computer or over our phones. These are a part of our daily life and over time bad habits like these can result in problems. Getting regular massages can correct these problems!

Benefits of Cupping for Cellulite

Cupping therapy is increasingly being used in weight reduction and the removal of cellulite. Many celebrities are now talking about the fascinating effects of the treatment that is a form of deep-tissue, non-invasive healing therapy.

Cellulite is mainly caused because of a genetic condition which causes fluid retention, an inefficient lymphatic drainage system and weak veins that result in ineffective blood circulation. Hormonal imbalances can also cause the development of more fat cells. These factors result in the fat cells lying under the skin converting into cellulite.

This cellulite pushes up the cords connecting the skin to the underlying muscle and creates the ungainly appearance of the dimpled, orange peel look on the skin that is a sign of cellulite.

When suction is applied on the skin, the reverse pressure causes the cellulite to break up. Blood circulation is stimulated, and the fat and toxins that are released are moved to the lymph drainage network.

Since cupping therapy also promotes a more efficient drainage of the lymph nodes, these toxins are quickly eliminated from the body. Cupping is also known to ease the cords connecting the skin and muscle. In this way, fluid build-up is reduced and the skin develops a more cellulite-free healthy appearance.
