Dry needling releases toxins, flushes out lactic acid, and breaks up muscle knots. At least, that's what people keep being told. The problem is, there's little scientific evidence supporting those claims. Dry needling has legitimate uses, but some of the most common explanations for how it works are completely wrong.

After a week of sitting at a desk, driving, working out, or just going about your usual routine, you might notice certain areas of your body feeling a little tighter than usual.

Take a few minutes this weekend to give those areas some attention. Whether it's your neck, shoulders, hips, or lower back, some gentle stretching and movement can help ease that feeling of stiffness and get your body moving more comfortably.

You don't need a complicated stretching routine or a full workout to make it worthwhile. Just pay attention to what feels good, move slowly, and avoid forcing yourself into a stretch that hurts.

Sometimes a little movement throughout the day is exactly what your body has been asking for.

Waking up at 3 a.m. with numb fingers? Blaming your wrist might not tell the whole story. Carpal tunnel is more complicated than most people realize, and the nerve causing all that trouble doesn't even start in your wrist. So why are we only talking about the wrist?

Do yourself a favor and bookmark this.

The neck is built of joints, muscles, and connective tissues just like every other region in the body.

Stretching your neck can be wonderful for dealing with pain, but it to responds well to strength training.

In fact I often find it works better than stretching, most lilkey because it is so rarely done.

It's also much easier to train than most people realize and you can train it with simple weights and bodyweight.

Weekend Wellness Tip: Give yourself a no-plans window.

You don't have to fill every open hour just because you're technically available.

It's easy for weekends to become just as busy as the workweek, especially when you're trying to squeeze in errands, family commitments, social plans, and everything else you've been putting off.

This weekend, try leaving a little time on your calendar completely open. You might end up doing something fun, catching up on some rest, or just enjoying the fact that you don't have anywhere you need to be.

And if someone asks what you're doing during that time, you're allowed to say you're unavailable. Having free time doesn't automatically mean you have to give it away.
