🧠💥 NECK & SHOULDER PAIN – WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON? 💪🌀
If you’re struggling with tight shoulders, neck pain, or reduced movement, it’s not just “a bit of stress.” There’s often an underlying cause — and it can get worse if ignored.
🚨 Common Conditions & How They Develop
🌀 Neck Strain / Tension
→ Caused by poor posture, desk work, or stress.
🔹 Muscles involved: Upper traps, levator scapulae, SCM.
📍 Symptoms: Stiffness, headaches, limited movement.
⏳ Lasts: A few days to several weeks (longer if untreated).
🌀 Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
→ Often follows immobility or injury. The shoulder capsule tightens.
🔹 Muscles involved: Rotator cuff group, joint capsule.
📍 Symptoms: Severe restriction in movement.
⏳ Lasts: 1–2 years if untreated. Can improve faster with therapy.
🌀 Rotator Cuff Injuries / Tendinopathy
→ Caused by repetitive use, lifting, or poor posture.
🔹 Muscles involved: Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis.
📍 Symptoms: Pain with lifting, weakness, night pain.
⏳ Lasts: 4–12+ weeks; chronic cases may take months.
🌀 Whiplash
→ Sudden neck movement (often from car accidents).
🔹 Muscles involved: SCM, scalenes, cervical stabilisers.
📍 Symptoms: Stiffness, dizziness, pain.
⏳ Lasts: 2–6 weeks; may persist longer if not managed early.
🌀 Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
→ Linked to repeated overhead use or poor posture.
🔹 Muscles involved: Supraspinatus, deltoid, biceps tendon.
📍 Symptoms: Pain lifting the arm overhead.
⏳ Lasts: 4–8 weeks; chronic cases 3–6+ months.
💆♀️ How We Help:
✔️ Massage Therapy – Releases tight muscles and boosts circulation.
✔️ Deep Oscillation Therapy (DOT) – Reduces inflammation, aids healing, softens scar tissue.
✔️ Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) – Improves mobility and rebalances muscle tension.
✔️ Rehabilitation – Builds long-term strength, posture, and injury prevention.
Don’t wait for it to become chronic. Early treatment = faster recovery.
