Popped into the physio at lunch and the problem is bad posture. 20 years of it. I'm sure I've been told this before and I'm sure I've blogged about it, but this is the first time someone sat me down and showed me exactly how to sit properly and explained that the pain I felt would get better as I exercised (exorcized) it (as opposed to sitting to avoid the pain).

It's totally worth the muscle strain walking around properly all the time. When standing properly I grow about 2 inches (I've no idea how much to be honest but it's a lot).

Everyone at work is freaking out that I've suddenly grown!

As an added bonus (the whole point!) my back/neck/shoulder pain is almost completely gone after only an hour or so of paying attention to how I stand/sit. Of course now I have strain pains from muscles I'm not used to using.

Welcome to the new tall me!

Pain!

With one wrong twist while drying my hair my back is back to as bad as it was back when I saw Secret Chiefs 3 in May. After $200 in physio fees to get better I'm back to the start again.

Coincidently (?) I have two gigs to go to this weekend, just like last time.

Disturbingly there is a bit in my neck that I can poke that makes the pain go away almost as efficiently as a switch. This is at least worthy information for the bone clicker.

I have an appointment for 11:30.
