Back Pain Tips, Stretches to Relieve Aches and Sore Muscles by Catz Austin Physical Therapy

In this free video, physical therapist, Christie Powell, give you simple stretches to relieve back pain, aches in the neck, shoulders and even lower back. Poor posture can cause a myriad of different ailments, discomfort and even sciatica or carpal tunnel symptoms.

Poor posture and a slouched, slumped back can contribute to a wealth of physical dysfunction and pain in the back, hips, butt, thighs, legs, arms, shoulders, neck, hands, and well... you get the idea. In this video, Christie Powell, head of physical therapy at Catz Austin, explains how poor posture can cause low back pain and other issues like carpal tunnel and sciatica.

Often when we are sitting at the computer, watching TV or movies, playing video games, and driving, we slump into poor posture and a curved spine. This exerts pressure throughout the entire body and over time will severely weaken the shoulders and back so that sitting correctly becomes uncomfortable. The only way to improve posture is to begin changing your habits and to try and get in the habit of reminding yourself to sit up straight. A posture-buddy at work is a great idea so you can keep reminding each other, or you can set a timer or alarm on your desk.

Christie received her Masters from Texas State University and is currently pursuing her PhD in Kinesiology/Movement Science at the University of Texas. She is dedicated to working with youth and adult athletes and is involved in various programs to promote education and increase awareness of athletic injuries.

I had a stiff upper spine from poor posture, been having physio for years. These stretches give the same impact, but cost nothing and you can do them any where. Thanks Catz

@dcook1973 glad it helped.

What is the function of the blue shirt man? He makes awkward motions and looks at man. And touches.

Blue shirt made this video seem unprofessional, just my input.

[thezebrastripe89]

I wish my hair looked like that in a ponytail.... :(

[sgcollins]

[gravisan]

blue shirt man wasn't actually there, wtf is going on... is he a ghost!?

[mljohn62]

I agree. get rid of the blue shirt guy. He is a distraction. Otherwise the video is great. He must be the money man and just want to be on tv
