Just like with the lower the crossed posture we have to strengthen and activate the weak inhibited muscles. The majority of people with neck and shoulder pain have rhomboids, mid and lower traps that donÔÇÖt ÔÇÿturn onÔÇÖ. By strengthening and activating these muscles we can bring the shoulders back in the correct position taking the pressure off the joints, muscles and ligaments in the upper back and lower neck.
In short, you need to perform more shoulder retraction exercises like the one described below multiple times every day for 1-3 sets of 15-20 repetitions. No gym is needed so there are no excuses.
If you have suffered a sporting injury, we can help return you to peak performance.  Please contact us for a consultation.
