Take this little article that I came across just last week. Now as a McTimoney Chiropractor I get to look at so many women's handbags! or to be more exact, the contents of their handbags. It never ceases to amaze me the weird and wonderful things that we carry around with us, causing our bags to be heavier than we should carefully carry about our person. Just look at this picture and you will see what I mean.
Look at the way that the spine compensates for the bag on the shoulder! Look at the hips, and the weight distribution onto the opposite leg to the one that the bag is being carried on. You can start to see from this picture how carrying something on one part of the body can affect an area in another part of the body.
That is why the McTimoney method of Chiropractic always looks at the whole body. This person could come into my clinic complaining of neck pain, or headaches, but damage is also being done to joints far removed from the area where symptoms are present. So be careful if a therapist only looks at the part that is hurting. Think of it like this, your artereis fur up over a long period of time, but it is not until you have a hart attack that you think you have a problem. The same can be said of your joints. Regular Chiropractic treatment can keep your joints healthy, before you feel a problem in them.
Now back to the handbags. I thought it would be a good idea to get you to assess the contents of your bag. So I am offering a free pot of Proto-col collagen (400mg capsules) to the person with the strangest thing that they carry around with them.Go through the handbag that you used today, and find the strangest thing that you carry around, in it. Post a photo of both your bag and the weird content onto your Facebook page, and you could win yourself a month's supply of Proto-col collagen. Don't forget to leave me a comment with link to your FB page! I will make my decision on 28th feb, and my decision is final. Looking forward to seeing all your lovely pics!
