Shoulder pain can be caused by weak and tight muscles, especially when we have bad posture. These shoulder pain relief exercises should help relieve pain in the shoulders, neck, chest, and the upper back area.
Shoulder or scapular squeezes are a great way to help get the upper back muscles strengthened and balanced. Often with bad posture, these muscles are weak.
Using a resistive band is also a great way to help strengthen the shoulder muscles and the rotator cuff. Shoulder external rotation (ER) and seated rows can be done with or without a band.
