I am very grateful for the Healthy Seniors articles.
The title "Why Tension Lives in Your Shoulders" struck me immediately. As English is not my first language, I remember learning that the phrase ‘a weight on your shoulders’ is used to describe an emotional burden, not an actual physical weight.
Does anyone know how to print these articles? I spent a good part of a day trying to figure it out. ::grrrr:: I'm on a tablet, can't "share" to printer, can't, for the life of me, find the file if I "download", & can't find anything in Settings or Substack help files..
Healthy Seniors is an exceptionally good resource. A lot of aspects of physical/emotional/mental health aren't addressed well before adding the extra challenges of aging. IME, aging hasn't been talked about much, either, so, I'm finding it pretty phenomenal to find such relevant, accurate, & effective information! It would be even better if I could print for easier reference. 😁
Kathy, thank you again for the lovely feedback — I really appreciate it. 😊
Printing from a tablet can be oddly tricky. Try opening the article in your browser (instead of the Substack app), tap the three dots at the top, and look for “Print.”
Or try copying the text into Notes or Docs and printing from there…
I could have sworn I had tried in a browser, but that's what it was! It was much more straightforward on another device (phone) but I was able print an article after opening in a browser from a tablet as well. You'd never know I was a tech liason being one of the 1st to use a desktop pc when they 1st came out, lol. I don't have the patience I did with tech & getting old I'm learning how to ask for help. This has been an ongoing frustration for me, so YAY! Thank you so much.
It's pretty common for my Tai Chi and Qigong students to come to me with visible tension in their shoulders. Much of what you described in you article are actions I already include in my warm-ups at the beginning of my classes. Regardless, sometimes it takes months for them to finally let themselves release all that built up tightness.

Thank you Pham, I’m glad that you enjoy the articles!
I did the shoulder release and immediately burst into tears! All that stress is so close to the surface. Thank you for “seeing” me.
That’s amazing, thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏

I hope one of these does the trick!

I’m glad it worked, but even more importantly, I’m glad that you asked for help!

Describing me! Uncanny!!
Try the exercise, let me know how it feels!
Definitely giving it a go - I’ve been feeling that general weakening for some time tbh😬
