Which looks silliest?

This is the time of the year when I have some strange looking people come to me for treatment.

They may have a shoulder raised, they may hold their heads slightly askew.  They nearly all rotate their heads using their whole bodies.  They are all in pain.

I am sure lots of you know exactly the postures that I am talking about.  So how does this affect what we do? Well,  It is difficult to look over our shoulders when driving.  It is difficult to put shoes and sock on.  It is hard to look down at the floor.  I could go on and on (I usually do).

This is the time of year when people get a chill in their necks.  When you get cold we tend to hold our bodies stiffly, bringing our shoulders up around our ears in order to subconsciously keep our necks warm, or we may find that we have got stiff in the position which we were doing something outside.

The preventative solution is simple.  As soon as it looks cold outside, dress up warmly.

Wear that hat and scarf.  Don’t tell me you look silly, you could look even sillier.
