Cranky pants...ha ha ha! That can definitely do it, Nadia, all those cranky pants. I hope you can get outta there soon! Thanks for reading, I always feel like I'm stuffing muscles down readers' throats, but I really believe if everyone knew the secrets that their musculature holds - and wants to whisper to us- life would be such a better (and more comfortable!) place. ;) You're the best, I love having you here. ~xo Hi Nadia,

Now I know why I feel the way that I feel when I am at work (besides the fact that I am surrounded with a bunch of cranky pants). I will definitely do that exercise too. Very cool. Thank you for teaching me something new. It is much appreciated.

He said "most old people that you see all hunched over aren't just old--they're weak." He recommended hip flexor stretched and a couple of shoulder stretches as "the fountain of youth." That hunched over look comes from the psoas dragging you down, and your shoulder round, and then all you can do is shuffle. A couple of easy things that you can do every day and get benefits from for decades. .-= Josh Hanagarne´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/worldsstrongestlibrarian/~3/iz8twjrypCQ/" rel="nofollow">Please Vote: World’s Strongest Librarian Nominated For Super Duper Fancy Award (or something…)</a> =-.

Just to clarify - I am not a doctor that treats patients. Give me your DNA, though, and all bets are off! ;) Hey, great, Sami! If I can get just one person to be aware of the stress he or she is putting on those poor little guys, I'll feel my work here has been worthwhile. Thank you! Enjoy your evening in the mothership, and I'll see you tomorrow, Sami! ~xo Hi Sami,

I like that one, too. Beautiful, isn't it? ;) I hope that this short post about this muscle (and the mayhem it can cause) can help relieve some of your shoulder/neck problems. If you have further questions or comments, please let me know via email if you'd like :) Great to see you again. Hi Tim,
