Shoulder Pain in Brick

The shoulder joint and related structures are a marvel of nature and innate engineering. Most of the credit for the movement of the upper body can be given to the shoulder. It is made up of many muscles, ligaments and tendons so there’s a lot that can go wrong.

The most common shoulder issues arise due to bad posture. When the neck curve starts to diminish because of forward head posture, the shoulders naturally start to drift forward to follow the head. This causes a shortening of the front muscles of the neck and shoulders and a lengthening and tightening of the muscles in the back of the neck and shoulder.

Therefore, the main mechanical “fix” is to prevent further forward head posture, start to recreate the neck curve, adjust mis-aligned vertebrae to restore proper motion, and perform exercises to strengthen the muscles that will help to support the neck and rounded shoulders.
