Is Your Neck the Key to a Pain-Free Upper Body?

// 2023 CHANNEL UPDATE // I’ve moved on from Mobility Mastery (self fascia release) in order to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of root cause discovery for pain and dis-ease that involves partner fascia release as a “diagnostics” (and regeneration) tool. Kinetix is a complete scientific methodology that I teach to friends, partners and professionals alike inside The Kinetix Academy. My other primary focus will be the launch and growth of a new podcast and Substack community called The Human Freedom Project. // NEW CONTENT ON YOUTUBE // Sometime in 2023 I will return to YouTube with HFP podcast episodes and content created to help you know and understand yourself as a whole organism made of body, soul and spirit. This content will feature the Kinetix methodology, pain science, fascia secrets I’ve learned from 15+ years in private practice, neuroscience and evolving beyond the brain, trauma and the body, and more! I’m excited to go on this new adventure with you. ********** // VIDEO DESCRIPTION // ********* What you may not realize is that, while neck tightness can certainly cause neck pain, it can also cause: 🔹Shoulder pain 🔸Mid back pain 🔹Jaw pain 🔸Tension headaches 🔹Grip issues 🔸Shooting pain down the arms 🔹Numbness and tingling in the hands and fingers 🔸Brain fog 🔹Poor eyesight 🔹and more But the real question is... WHY IS YOUR NECK SOOOOO TIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE? It might come as a shock, but one of the biggest root causes of neck tightness is actually an unstable pelvis and a lack of deep core activation. Hang with me here. What I see so often working with people is that our neck muscles tighten up to compensate for a lack of core or hip (pelvis) stability. To put it simply you need a stable spine for communication between your brain and body, and when the base of the spine (the pelvis/hips) becomes unstable the top of the spine (your neck) can tighten up to stabilize that spine so your brain and body and keep communicating. For example, when you’re doing pilates or yoga or a strength training workout that requires a strong core, your anterior neck muscles (SCM’s and scalenes) will often strongly contract if you are not engaging your deep lower core in order to stabilize your spine on one end. My theory is that the brain will prioritize an uncompromised spine above everything (since without a healthy spine you could die); and, I believe the brain seeks a “rooted” stability (secure attachment) at one end, in order to let the rest of the spine be fluid and free. So either you need a rooted strong pelvis and sacral/lumbar spine, OR you need a secure cervical spine (neck). If you have neither, your thoracic spine will take a big hit and the muscles around your trunk will compensate, often leading to mid back pain, hunchback posture, overworked obliques/diaphragm/rectus abdominis… It’s preferable (healthy) to be rooted in your pelvis, since this is your center of gravity and where all of your power for torque, propulsion and breathing comes from. Using your cervical spine instead of your sacrum to stabilize your whole spine is asking for trouble down the road, since these are tiny muscles compared to the ones in your pelvis and core. One major contributor to pelvic instability and a chronically tight neck is a lack of deep core activation. Meaning, your pelvic floor and lower abdominal muscles (part of your deep core) are weak and/or unable to contract on demand (they've become inhibited). Why do they become inhibited? There’s a laundry list of root causes, but it often can be traced back to one of a handful of things: ✅ ​​Have you ever fallen on your tailbone? ✅ Have you ever had abdominal surgery? ✅ Have you been told you’re in anterior pelvic tilt? ✅ Is your low back excessively curved, in a sway back or lordosis posture? ✅ Have you had low back surgery? ✅ Do you have a history of sexual trauma? ✅ Were you ever paddled or belted on the butt as a child? ✅ And finally…do you sit a lot? If you answered yes to any of these it could be leading to a lack of deep core activation, pelvic instability, and ultimately... that neck tightness you’re experiencing.
