My top five tips for relieving shoulder tension



1) Diaphragmatic breathing - this is great for relieving stress and makes sure you are using the diaphragm to breath and not over stressing the neck muscles.

2) Heat - a wheat bag is lovely to drape around the shoulders and really helps to soften the tissue and ease tension. Use for 20 minutes at a time.

3) Front and back crawl arms - stand nice and tall, drop your shoulders and do front crawl and then back crawl arms letting your body move at the waist as you circle your arms. Do a couple of minutes in each direction.

4) The door way stretch - this is a great way to open up the chest and helps the shoulders to relax.

  1. Thanks for sharing such an information with all because Shoulder pain is a very annoying condition a person has and all the routine life is disturbed. if a patient does not get any relief after doing all such things so he/she must go to chiropractor.
