What are the treatments for neck and shoulder syndrome

Neck and shoulder syndrome is actually very common among many office workers. Because they sit for long periods of time to work, if they do not relax their bodies, it is easy to cause neck and shoulder discomfort. Generally, mild neck and shoulder syndrome can be easily relieved by itself, and with appropriate rest, it can have a better recovery effect, such as neck and shoulder activities.

1. Ways to relieve neck pain

Sit or stand, keep your upper body upright, then place the tips of your index, middle and ring fingers together on the midline of the back of your neck, from top to bottom. Press your fingers forward with force and tilt your head back, which means you are applying relative force. Repeat this 2 to 3 times to quickly eliminate the neck pain and stiffness caused by bowing your head for a long time.

2. How to relieve shoulder stiffness

Stand up straight, put your hands down behind your back, stretch your arms and clasp your hands together, then move your shoulder joints forward and backward, or let your hands hang naturally and rotate your shoulder joints. This can relieve shoulder tension and muscle stiffness. The former method can relax the shoulder blade and the surrounding muscles at the same time.

3. Shoulder exercises to prevent "shoulder and neck syndrome"

3.1. Keep your body upright, facing the edge of the table or windowsill, support the table or windowsill with one hand clenched into a fist, and straighten your elbow. Keep the other hand still, take a small step forward, and move the body forward, but keep the arm supporting the table still, so that the shoulder joint is passively pulled and extended. Then switch to the other side and do the above movements.

3.2. Stand with your back against the table or windowsill, hold the edge of the table or windowsill with both hands, keep your hands and upper body still, and bend your elbows. Bend your knees and squat down to passively lift the shoulder joint forward or upward.

3.3. Stand at an arm's length away from the table or windowsill, facing the table or windowsill, with your arms straight and your hands on the table. Keep your hands and upper body still, bend your knees and squat down, so that the shoulder joint is passively lifted forward and upward.
