The shoulder blade makes a sound when it moves

When a person stays in a fixed posture for a long time and then suddenly stands up to relax, he will notice a series of noises coming from the joints of his body, just like many people make noises when their shoulder blades move. This is not surprising, because it is actually due to stiff joints. In addition to causing joint stiffness, long-term immobilization of the shoulder blade can also cause shoulder pain, but you can relieve it through some methods yourself.

1. Press and rub the shoulder point

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that massaging the Jianyu point can treat periarthritis of the shoulder, paralysis of the upper limbs, brachial neuralgia, etc. Combined with Jianliao, Jianzhen, Binyu, etc., it is mainly used to treat periarthritis of the shoulder; combined with Quchi, Waiguan, Hegu, it is mainly used to treat upper limb paralysis. It can be seen that massaging the Jianyu point can effectively relieve the symptoms of stiff and painful shoulders. The Jianyu point is located at the lower edge of the acromion, between the acromion and the greater tubercle of the humerus, in the center of the upper part of the triangular muscle. When the arms are abducted or raised horizontally, two depressions appear on the shoulders, one in the front and lower part of the acromion. Regular massage of the shoulder point can have a good relieving effect.

2. Say no to shallow breathing

Another very important factor in becoming a stiff-shoulder person is "breathing". When stress cannot be released and one is feeling irritable and upset, one will naturally enter a state of “shallow breathing”. Because of shallow breathing and shortness, the shoulders move up and down frequently, and the muscles are always tense, which eventually leads to stiff shoulders. You should train yourself to do "abdominal breathing". Aerobic exercise can bring about earth-shaking changes in your breathing, so you should exercise regularly to improve your breathing. If you don’t have time, you should subconsciously take deep breaths when you are free.

3. Complete Breathing Method Training

The training of complete breathing method is very simple. The most basic method is to hold your breath and then take a deep breath. Yongquan acupoint: First, contract your abdomen, inhale through your nose, and let your abdomen slowly fill with air. Then hold your breath briefly and exhale the air through your nose. Because abdominal breathing cannot be formed naturally without training, it should be practiced repeatedly several times a day. This way your body will remember this feeling and gradually develop abdominal breathing.
