We’ve invited physical therapist Morgan Peak to provide suggestions for a holistic approach to help Frosties boost the circulatory systems that become impaired when triggered by the cold, causing pain and discomfort.
When we think about the anatomy of our bodies, the major blood vessels and nerves that travel from the neck down to the shoulder, pass through different layers of connective tissues, around muscles and over the top of the ribs. Because there are so many pathways that the blood vessels and nerves are crossing through, any tightness or tension in this area may increase the intensity and sensitivity of Raynaud’s into the fingers.
With this understanding, we can stretch the muscles of the neck and the front of the shoulder in order to open up this pathway to improve blood circulation & nerve mobility.
Here are some simple moves to lessen your symptoms and make this condition more manageable, especially as the climate transitions into colder weather.
