Shoulders and ankle pain...

Starting in May while getting my certification for Mat Pilates I began having shoulder and neck pain. At first it was only in the shoulder blades but it eventually reached my neck and top of traps. After visiting my massage guy it kind of died down a little. I noticed as well that my chest, deltoids and sides were super tight and sore to the touch. I try to stretch my chest in the door way twice a day to help alleviate the pain. I also lye horizontal on my big ball and that helps as well. And forget spending too much time on the computer.
Today I began doing some upper body resistance to see if that would help. I will let you know.
The ankle is still a mystery to me. It hurts right on the Talus bone and the pain comes and go. I can only attribute it to my reformer work and using the foot straps. The straps are really hard and I have to always be adjusting them. That's my guess. In the mean time I have cut out my garage walking and am wearing a ankle brace. I have been riding my bike but have to really pay attention to my neck and shoulder when doing so.
Ice, heat, ice , heat. Lets hope this is just a phase........
