This short video shows Upper crossed posture in the context of “Disc degeneration.” Prolonged dehydration lowers disc height. Stress is concentrated in the annular fibrosis, microcracks, inflammation and protective spasms appear. This links the muscle’s location and role in movement with the areas where tension or pain may be felt.
Prolonged dehydration lowers disc height. Stress is concentrated in the annular fibrosis, microcracks, inflammation and protective spasms appear. The clip places this within “Disc degeneration” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.
Muscle pain is not always local. When a muscle is overloaded or lacks control during movement, tension or pain can also be felt in a nearby area.
This is an educational visual linked to “Disc degeneration.” If symptoms keep returning, restrict movement, or their source is unclear, a functional assessment is a more useful next step than guessing.
