@kristicreatesofficial: This cervical traction collar made me feel like I got a brand new neck 😅 Even as a professional dancer, my hypermobility sometimes made it hard to maintain healthy posture. My ballet teachers were always correcting me on my upper sine alignment. Over the past few years, I’ve had to stop dancing due to health issues, and I noticed my “military neck” (loss of the normal cervical curve) had worsened, and so had my mysterious symptoms. After a long journey with many medical labels, I finally got answers, and it wasn’t what I expected. Even with clear scans, it turned out that my neck was contributing to most of my issues. With targeted treatment in functional neurology and guidance from my care team, I’m now on the road to recovery and slowly returning to dance. Fun fact: poor posture signals our nervous system that we are collapsed and unsafe. It fatigues us, teaches the body that movement is risky, and can even impede circulation. Not medical advice. Always consult with a doctor before trying anything new. #neckpain #chronicpain #posture #posturecorrection #mobility
