I remember the exact moment I thought I’d finally cracked the code to natural living. I ditched my cushioned sneakers for a pair of paper-thin ballet flats, convinced that by being closer to the ground, I was somehow fixing years of office-chair damage. Boy, was I wrong.

I remember sitting at my kitchen table three years ago, squinting at a tiny PDF on my laptop. Suddenly, a sharp, electric zip shot from the base of my skull right down to my shoulder blade. I froze. I couldn’t even reach for my water glass without wincing. I spent the next week blaming my…
I was three hours into a deadline-driven afternoon, hunched over my laptop like a gargoyle, when that familiar, searing heat started creeping in right between my shoulder blades. It felt like a hot poker was being pressed against my rhomboids. I did what most people do: I reached back and tried to dig my thumb…
