Stretch of the Month – Upper Shoulder Stretch

Date: April 23, 2012  Author: Tracy Comments Off

-        Clasp Hands behind back

-        Straighten arms

-        Relax neck, drop shoulders

-        Push arms up toward ceiling while pushing shoulders back

-        Hold for between 10-30 seconds

This stretches the main shoulder muscles used for posture.

This helps with posture especially if you tend to slouch, curl your shoulders forward, or tighten your shoulders a lot when sitting, standing or doing activities.

This stretch should be done when you wake up, in the middle of your day when you’re at work, and before you go to bed.

Date: February 24, 2012  Author: Tracy Comments Off

The bicornuate uterus is a malformation of the uterus that is also commonly known as a “heart- shaped” uterus.  A normal uterus has the fallopian tubes and ovaries located on either side, with an upside down triangular uterine cavity
