A pain in the neck

Oversize handbags never seem to go out of fashion, but you don't get any style points for the neck and shoulder pain that tends to accompany them. In Allure magazine, New York City chiropractor Justina Ngo offers these strategies to work out the kinks:

Train yourself: Switch your bag from one side to the other every 10 minutes, and be careful not to scrunch up the shoulder it's on.

When you put it down: Take a few moments to stretch your neck and shoulders, but don't just swivel your head around like a doll. Bend it forward, right, left and back in careful, slow movements. Your head isn't on a ball-and-socket joint.

Don't forget to reset: That your neck and shoulders tense up, “reset” them: Bring your shoulders to your ears and hold tightly for three seconds, then drop them, letting your arms hang loosely at your sides.

At the gym: Add a few moves to strengthen your shoulder and back muscles. Lateral raises and pull-downs, push-ups and planks can help.
