If you’ve got neck pain, shoulder pain, stiffness, or an ache, the most obvious thing is to ignore it at first. Maybe you assume that you just slept wrong or sat uncomfortably too long.
Does that sound like you?
It is true that neck and shoulder pain is usually the result of strains and sprains from overexertion or bad posture. Sometimes this pain will go away on its own. Stretching, massage and strengthening exercises can also treat the pain caused by bad posture.
However, the pain can also be caused by suboptimal breathing patterns or poor ribcage positions There’s no one single reason that it happens, but if it doesn’t get better soon, you must seek professional help.
Neck and shoulder pain can be of different types. Some people experience only neck or shoulder pain, while others experience pain in both areas.
