I have a serious amount of neck pain from nursing in my job.. it effects me here because I am tall!.. but when I dig deeper into the root cause, it's because I am using the wrong methods of movement :] .. I react to the situation before thinking it through because I want the patient to feel trust in me, as a result my neck really hurts at night when trying to sleep.. I need to think in the moment more!

Are you saying that you’re tall and when working as a nurse you try to connect with your patients by leaning your head down?
Yes , for sure. From bending to meet on same level and from lifting. Always hurts my neck. So painful x
That’s so perceptive if you to know you’re causing the pain from your body language responsive. That pattern is probably a hard one to change but maybe with your awareness?
very hard to change indeed, the lady I was communicating with has since passed away.(3 days ago 💔) In recent months the only way I could look into her eyes while speaking to her was to do this, as she had some problems with her neck, in the end, that resulted in her neck been unable to support itself in a straight position.
So, I guess I am glad that you she did not feel that all communication was lost as a result of this 💔
