IS YOUR HEAD ON STRAIGHT?

Your headaches or shoulder pain could be linked to that old ankle injury you had four years ago? When you have an injury or problem in an ankle, a knee or a hip, your body will compensate all the way up to your occipitals (the little muscles at the base of your skull). Often pain or tightness zig-zags up the body, changing sides at every joint it reaches. And it does this why? It makes all these little adjustments and changes up the body to make sure your head is on straight and your eyes remain horizontal to the ground! So, while you may be suffering some aches and pains, you can rest assured that your head is on straight!
