The iliocostalis thoracis muscle has a large pain pattern. Upper back pain with pain concentrated around the bottom of the shoulder blade is the most common. It also contributes to low back pain, low abdominal pain, and chest pain. #backpain #shoulderpain

#TuesdayTip Heavy purses, whether satchel bags or shoulder bags not only cause neck, shoulder, and arm soreness, it can also lead to chest and back pain. The body's muscles compensate to carry the heavy bag. Lighter is better!

The rhomboids connect the upper spine to the inner edge of the shoulder blade. Looking at the muscles you better understand why they can be so painful. The muscles are referred to as the Christmas tree muscles because of their shape which you can see here https://t.co/aBLOnJcYDQ

AMI surgery recreates the connections between muscles lost in standard amputation surgery. This decreases pain muscle atrophy and gives the feeling the limb is still attached and functioning. Watch the video; it is incredible! https://t.co/gUfyb8C6ox

Are other animals ticklish? Are you? Why do we laugh when tickled? It doesn't really feel good! If you tickle someone are you teaching them life skills? Maybe...Kinda... https://t.co/PKxNaaWfZo

Do you have pain on the outside of the elbow, often called tennis elbow? The anconeus muscle may be the cause. The muscle connects the upper arm, point of the elbow and lower arm. If you have pain and stiffness in the elbow, check this muscle.

[The Wellness Digest @thewelldigest]

The anconeus is a small muscle that can cause pain and misery. The muscle is a contributor to #tenniselbow (dominant arm) and #golferselbow (non-dominate arm). The pain is concentrated on the outside of the elbow and extends into the point of the elbow. https://t.co/mvOpjNAbAJ

We need to pay attention to kids thinking; their logic often makes sense. (math is important too!) 🙂

[Kyle.PE.Bragg @ElemPE1]

1st grader - Why don't we have PE every day?

Me - Go on. Explain.

1st grader - We have Math everyday, that doesn't even make me healthy AND we don't use teamwork. PE does.

Me - I feel ya.

We discuss @CapnPetesPE's WHY PE poster daily. He's taking it to heart.😊 @SHAPE_America

Do your low back, hips, and buttocks hurt if you sit or stand too long? Pain can range from a dull ache to sharp stabbing when you move. Lying down brings relief until you roll on your side. If you are familiar with this pain, check the glute med muscle.

The gluteus medius muscle connects to the hip bone (ilium) and connects to the upper leg bone (femur). The muscle moves the leg away from the body and twists the leg toward the body.

Pain in the hip, buttocks, and low back is often caused by the glute med

If an athlete bragged about only getting 4 hours of sleep per night, I'd know he wasn't serious about his sport or performance.

Yet... in the workplace, we accept this bragging as a sign of someone who is dedicated.

The situations are the same. Both are sacrificing performance.

#TuesdayTip Experiencing hip, buttock, and lower back pain? Do you often sit with items in your back pocket? This can compress muscles, nerves, and blood flow to the hip area. Remove items from your pockets for a few days and see if your pain subsides. https://t.co/Gyv16HkXPZ

[The Wellness Digest @thewelldigest]

Headaches in the temple area and side of the head, pain above the eye, and painful, sensitive upper teeth are symptoms of trigger points and an overly tight temporalis muscle. The muscle is involved with TMJ, Temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

Researchers trained people to use a robotic extra thumb, finding they could effectively carry out dextrous tasks, like building a tower of blocks, with one hand. Participants trained to use the thumb also increasingly felt like it was a part of their body https://t.co/f6uPWcMkVh

If you are so sore you can’t sit down on the toilet or are having a hard time walking after a session with a Personal Trainer, they did not do their job properly. They should never leave you wrecked.
