2. Head pressing palm method

This method is suitable for doing before going to bed at night and before getting up in the morning. Lie on your back on the bed, then spread your legs and put your palms under your head with your palms facing up and the backs of your hands facing down. Next, start pressing the center of your palms with your head. Press whichever side of your palm hurts. Do this for about 20 minutes each time.

3. Pinching the Arm

Also sit down, use your left hand to pinch your right arm, from the shoulder to the wrist, and then from the wrist to the shoulder, repeat 5 to 10 times, then do the other hand.

4. One-handed shoulder press

Take the right shoulder as an example. Place your feet like a lunge, with the right foot in front, about a foot away from the table; the left foot is stretched out behind. Place your right hand on the table, press your left palm on your right shoulder, and use your body to swing downward and backward.

5. Chest expansion and shoulder separation method

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place your hands in front of your chest. Make sure your elbows are level with your shoulders, with the backs of your hands facing up and your palms facing down. Expand your mind, spread your shoulders, and inhale; exhale as you return.

2. How to avoid shoulder pain

Shoulder pain is caused by many factors, such as diseases such as periarthritis of the shoulder and cervical spondylosis, which can cause shoulder pain. Catching a cold at night or being tired during the day can also easily cause shoulder pain. The prevention methods for shoulder pain caused by different causes are different.

How to avoid shoulder pain? You can protect your shoulders in the following ways:

1. Avoid sleeping with your shoulders exposed. Regardless of the season, protect your shoulders from getting cold;

2. Reduce the weight of your handbag. When the bag is too heavy, the shoulder muscles will always be in a tense state, which can easily cause muscle spasms.

3. Reduce the number of single-shoulder backpacks. A shoulder bag often causes people to unconsciously raise their shoulders to stabilize the bag strap. It will cause the shoulder and back muscles to be in a state of contraction for a long time, causing shoulder and back pain.

4. Don’t maintain the same posture for a long time. Maintaining a certain posture for a long time can easily cause excessive spasm of some muscles in the neck, shoulders, and back, thereby inducing neck and shoulder pain, even periarthritis of the shoulder, and sometimes cervical spondylosis. Therefore, people who work in front of computers for a long time are reminded to be careful not to maintain the same posture too often. They can change postures frequently, or stand up and relax after sitting for a while, and then sit down again.

In our daily life, it is very important to develop good living habits.
