No, I'm not talking about your boss, your homework, being stuck in traffic or even all the things on your to do list. I'm talking about the tightness between your shoulders that can cause pain up into your head, down your arms, sometimes in your chest and can even feel like a sharp pain deep in your inner ear. To explain how and why this happens, let me start with an anatomy lesson. The main muscle group involved is called the trapezius. It is so named due to its trapezoid shape, like a…

Health DIY - Natural Remedies on Instagram: "Do you experience shoulder blade pain that just won’t go away? Great post by @drjoedamiani for more! 🙏  You’ve tried stretching it, massaging it and fixing your posture but it keeps coming back? Plus you get headaches and it seems like it’s all connected? (Well you’re probably right!)  You see when we have improper shoulder blade function, the muscles that connect it to the spine have to overwork and those muscles tug on the neck which can cause headaches!  PLUS, if your upper back and rib head joint are stiff… then the muscles (rhomboids, levant scapulae and upper trapezius have to work even more). SO to fix the situation we have to:  1.) Release the muscles to put them in a more healthy state. 2.)

Dr. Adam McCluskey PT, DPT on Instagram: "❌This small muscle could be causing your neck and shoulder pain! (Full Program @theptinitiative Bio Link)
—
There is a small muscle that connects the shoulder blade to the neck, and can be really problematic if it gets overactive and tight.
—
It’s called the Levator Scapulae and it is a common source of neck pain and shoulder blade movement problems.
—
This muscle helps you elevate your shoulder blade, and bend your neck to the side, but can limit your ability to lift your arm overhead optimally if it’s restricted.
—
To begin fixing this issue I recommend doing this active Levator Scapulae release technique with a lacrosse ball to decrease the tonicity and tightness of this muscle.
—
Then we need to actively reinforce this new position by training Pulled Neck Muscle, Scapula Pain, Shoulder Blade Muscles, Neck Muscle Pain, Levator Scapulae, Neck Spasms, Muscles Of The Neck, Neck Muscles, Muscle Imbalance
