Every morning, I have a choice to make. It's even a very important choice. And it seems so obvious I usually don't even realize I've made this choice. When I wake up in the morning, I have to decide if I'm going to keep doing things the way I have been doing them, or if I'm going to make a change. Deciding to do things differently can literally change my life!

Does it hurt when you turn your head or when you bring your ear toward your shoulder? The problem could be a tight levator scapulae! This is a muscle that runs from the base of your skull to the top of your shoulder blade. It performs the action of elevating your shoulder blades, but it also stabilizes your head when you turn your neck. It an be tricky to massage yourself without a tool, so a theracane is really helpful. Try this massage to get some relief. Do it 6-12 times a session multiple times a day for a few days! I've had great success getting pain relief when I do this massage regularly. I drive a lot and my neck often ends up very tight. This is one of my favorite ways to get it to release.

Welcome back everyone! Benjamyn Smith, AKA Doctor Ben, here. Today I want to talk about walking your own path. There are a lot of people out there who will tell you what they think you should do. They will try and talk you into following their dreams. It's just human nature. Everyone thinks they have the right answer. But only you have the right answer for you. If you're living your life in a way that makes you happy, don't let anyone talk you away from it just because they think it's better. If you're walking your own path and chasing your own goals, then be happy in your progress. Don't hold yourself up to life standards others have defined as the definition of success. Create the life YOU want to live, not the life everyone else thinks you should live.

I've mentioned before that I've been rehabbing lower back pain. I've created a sort of program for myself to restore normal function to my spine and hips and eliminate low back pain. Hips and shoulders are also a huge factor in back pain so much of this workout focuses on restoring mobility to these areas. Restoring strength and mobility to the hamstrings and glutes is essential and is the focus of hip bridges and deadlifts. Rocking engages all the muscles of the core and also helps to improve spine mobility. Elbow lifts help free your shoulders from your rib cage. Thoracic extensions take the pressure off your lower back by restoring normal function to that area. Stick mobility side bends are the best way I've found to release the quadratus lumborum, a deep abdominal muscle that tightens up after lots of sitting. Doctor Ben's Exercises For Lower Back Pain: Hip Bridges: 3 sets of 10 Rocking: 3 sets of 5 each side Elbow Lifts: 3 sets of 15 Thoracic Extensions: 3 sets of 10 Stick Mobility Side Bends: 3 Sets of 5 each side Deadlifts: 5 sets of 10 About Me: http://bit.ly/2OgeBGv Shirts: http://bit.ly/2FJAjyM Social: Facebook: http://bit.ly/2h2cKp2 Instagram: http://bit.ly/2zvzl4m Website: http://BenjamynSmith.com Shirts: http://chalkmakesyoustronger.com Video Gear: Cameras: http://amzn.to/2F3cGiy http://amzn.to/2x2R4U2 Lens: http://amzn.to/2yK1jtJ Mics: http://amzn.to/2g5ePDu http://amzn.to/2E10pvX Lighting: http://amzn.to/2fuaKF5 http://amzn.to/2yKrrUb About This Channel: Hey everyone!
