Shoulder pain can be caused by tight muscles, especially when we have bad posture. Here are 3 of my favorite shoulder stretches to help relieve pain in the shoulders, neck, chest, and the upper back area.
First up is a rhomboid stretch. It can help loosen up the mid to upper back area as well as the shoulders.
Next, an upper trap stretch is great for the shoulders, neck, and the upper back area. This area also holds a lot of tightness when we are stressed.
Finally, a chest (pec) stretch will help open up the front of the shoulders and chest area. When the pec muscles are tight, they will pull or roll the shoulders forward, which can cause pain and bad posture.
