Upper cross syndrome video from http://www.myyogaonline.com/videos/workplace-wellness/upper-cross-syndrome . Upper-cross is a generic condition that affects a majority of the population today. Learning how to avoid postures that place stress on our neuromusculoskeletal system is essential in avoiding injury. Highly beneficial for those who sit at a desk most of the day.

  • Hi,

    I am a physiotherapy student and writing an assignment about Upper Crossed and Lower Crossed Syndrome. I can not use any litterature older than 2006. Janda died in 2002. Does anyone know about an updated study about or an article abot UPCS?

    My hypothesis is that you get rid of your symptomes by stretching the tonic muscles and strengthening the phasic muscle together with ergonomic adjustments ar work

  • @TheYaom. Thrilled that this information is resonating with you. Wishing you the best as you work to strengthen your weak/inhibited links and lengthen your tight links! Take care!

  • OMG I am crying of joy!!! you saved my life!!!!

    for two and a half years I have suffering from upper back pain, back of the head tight, shoulders hurt..... sometimes I feel burning under my shoulder blades and also behind my ears and side of the neck it feels tight and irritated.

    Sleeping became a task, stretching feels very good but I just didn't know what to do about it.... or how to call this pain, 10 years of excessive computer use might have caused this.

    UCS I am sure this is my problem!

  • Thank you to all for your comments. I am glad most of you find this helpful! Regarding the heels... I believe that life is about balance. I stretched my calves out well after standing for a while in heels:) Good observation though!

  • Definitely Canadian. Great vid, very informative.

  • Exactly what I've been needing. Thank you so very much!

  • HMM I wonder what wearing high heels does for your posture..you would think a Dr. would know better/

  • very helpful. thanks

  • Thank you so much!!! :-)

  • Nicely done,! Dr. Janda also would have recommended that with the "wall angel" a simple chin tuck for the deep cervical flexors are appropriate and quite helpful. A very good service to your viewers. PCC79
