Do you have neck and shoulder pain? Well let’s look at the bigger picture and talk about why your tight chest may be part of the problem.
One thing I will never skip in a session is pec work. Massaging the pecs has been a hugely underrated thing until recently. It is crucial to loosen up the muscle in the front of your body just as much as the back, This is especially for those of you that have upper back pain.
Why?
Think of the hours spent in front of your desk, your phone and hell, even walking. Always with gravity pulling you forward. Of course your shoulders are going to cave in. They get tired. This causes your pectoralis major muscle to shorten, pulling on your clavicle and therefore pulling on the other muscles around the neck and shoulder that attach to it, such as the trapezius (traps) and the sternocleidomastoid (SCM). This causes them to work harder to keep your posture upright. So yes, you may be feeling the pain in your neck and shoulders but you cannot ignore the front of your chest.
You’ll be supersized how much relief you’ll feel if you incorporate some pec stretches in between your work day.
