Earlier today, I visited the chiropractor for the first time in my life. I had a painful spasm in my neck on Friday night and I wanted to get it seen to by a professional. I was quite concerned, as I had never had such pain in my neck before and I had a feeling that there was a deeper seated problem.
The experience was lovely. The doctor who saw me was incredible but she did give me some bad news - my back was completely out of alignment, and my neck and upper back were extremely tight. This shocked me because I thought, "but I do yoga, I make sure that my posture is good and I do my best to look after my back". Sadly, this is not enough. Sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day is the chief culprit here, I have been informed.
With my back and neck returned to harmonious alignment, I have been told to expect muscle stiffness and soreness for the next 24 - 48 hours. So no gym workouts for me for the next two days. I shall be taking it very gently and most likely shall be including some slow yoga practice into my schedule today and tomorrow.
