Ever found yourself unconsciously clenching your toes while standing, sitting, or even walking? Yeah, me too. I used to think it was just a quirky habit until my lower back started protesting after long workdays. Turns out, this toe-gripping habit does a lot more than just tire your feet. It quietly triggers a chain reaction…
Ever noticed one shoulder blade pokes out more than the other when you’re standing relaxed or checking posture in the mirror? I did—and honestly, I brushed it off for years. Turns out, that subtle unevenness in your back could be quietly throwing your spine off balance, creating a domino effect on your entire musculoskeletal system….
Let me tell you — a couple of years back, I kept wondering why my lower back constantly felt sore even though I wasn’t doing any heavy lifting. Turns out, the issue was nowhere near my back. It was my calves. Seriously. Most of us don’t even think twice about the backline of our body,…
