Okay, not all the videos can be bangers! 😂

🖐️ You might actually be missing a muscle… and that’s completely normal.

Try this: Touch your thumb to your pinky and slightly flex your wrist.

See that tendon pop up in the middle of your wrist? That’s your palmaris longus.

Don’t see it? You may be one of the people who simply doesn’t have one. 👀

The palmaris longus is considered a vestigial muscle—meaning it likely played a bigger role for our ancestors, but has become less important as humans evolved.

And the cool part? You can function perfectly well without it.

Human anatomy isn’t identical from person to person. Sometimes, normal has variations.

Try it yourself 👇
Do you have a palmaris longus?

Your head weighs roughly 10–12 pounds—but as it moves forward, the mechanical demand on your neck can increase by an additional 10–20 pounds or more. 🤯

That doesn’t mean there is one “perfect” posture you must maintain all day. The bigger problem is staying in the same forward-head position for hours at a time.

A few simple desk adjustments can help:

✅ Raise your monitor closer to eye level
✅ Bring the screen toward you instead of leaning toward it
✅ Keep your keyboard and mouse within easy reach
✅ Sit with your feet supported
✅ Change positions and take movement breaks throughout the day

If your neck still feels tight, stiff, or painful despite adjusting your workspace, we can evaluate how your neck, upper back, shoulders, and breathing mechanics are contributing—and build a plan that addresses the real cause.
