Is neck pain related to your wrist ?

More and more of us are moving into a service industry


We are more likely now to need to use our wrists in terms of serving our clients in a restaurant , typing more on computers as well as our daily tasks like putting the dishes away and doing the gardening


Neck pain is one of the leading causes of pain and disability worldwide and research is looking into whether neck pain alters proprioception in the wrist


When we talk about proprioception, we are talking about our bodies ability to sense movement, action and location


This study demonstrated that neck pain or fatigue can lead to altered afferent input to the central nervous system and can affect wrist Joint position sense.


Whats even more impressive is, we are not talking about 100 sessions over a couple of months, the study found that the increase in joint position sense can improve after 1 session!
