Monday Hangover? Try These Simple Stretches & Exercises for Relief

Monday Hangover? Try These Simple Stretches & Exercises for Relief
How do these stretches work to cure your hangover?
Suffering from a hangover? Put down the Tylenol and get out your yoga mat.

Even though all you may want to do after a long night out is sleep, eat greasy food, and have a day on the couch, you may find more relief doing three yoga poses.

Certain exercises can gently get the blood flowing and bring you back to life and motion.

What are these exercises?

  1.  Standing Arm Circles. This exercise will bring your shoulders back, pulling your drooping head up with it, as well as pump up nutrients to the brain.
  2. Standing Overhead Arm Extension. This move is easy to do and great for pulling the ribs up and putting stomach muscles back into action.
  3. Seated Shoulder Blade Squeezes. Can't stomach standing up yet? You can do this exercise easily on a chair or bench with ribs up and shoulder blades slowly brought to the spine and released.

Founder of BodyFix MethodTM, Bill Boland shares three stretches that can help ease your hangover.

BodyFix method was developed using the science behind a variety of other therapies to create a holistic method that works for all bodies and ages. Bill explains "At BodyFix Method, our goal is not to manage pain, but to eliminate it."

    As a Clinical Exercise Specialist, Bill has extensive knowledge in biochemistry and kinesiology. Bill earned certifications in the Egoscue MethodTM as a Postural Alignment Specialist, in Muscle Energy TechniquesTM, and in Muscle Activation TechniquesTM. He is trained in Strain Counterstrain therapy, Spinal Manipulation, and soft tissue manual therapy.

    Prior to establishing his own practice, Bill successfully treated thousands of patients as a physiologist at Pain Management & Rehabilitation Medical Services, one of New York's most highly praised remedial clinics.
