How to Correct Uneven Shoulders

If we pay attention in our daily life, we will find that if we have uneven shoulders, it is often caused by some muscle problems, so we should pay attention to taking the correct methods to correct it, such as massage or stretching.

1. Causes of uneven shoulders:

Uneven shoulders are actually caused by spinal curvature deformity, scoliosis and rotation. Spinal deformity is caused by muscle diseases that lead to imbalance in muscle strength, especially scoliosis caused by asymmetry of the paraspinal muscles.

Spinal deformity can not only cause uneven shoulders, but also pelvic tilt, long and short legs, and excessive inversion or valgus ridges of the feet.

The early symptoms of scoliosis include: uneven shoulders, the spine deviating from the midline, one shoulder blade being higher than the other, wrinkled skin lines on one side of the chest, and asymmetry of the back when bending forward.

2. High and low shoulder detection:

A simple test is the bending test: stand with both feet on flat ground in an upright position. Put your palms together, place your hands between your knees, and gradually bend over. The examiner sits in front of or behind the patient, looks straight ahead, and observes whether both sides of the child's back are at the same height. If one side is higher, it indicates that there may be scoliosis with a bulge caused by vertebral rotation.

Uneven shoulders can be corrected through exercise.

3. Exercise correction method:

1. Massage

Relax any cramped muscles by massaging the side of your high shoulder. Massage can dredge the shoulder tendons, relieve muscle tension, etc.

2. Stretching method

Stretch your chest and back muscles. Stretching can relieve muscle tension and make the body more relaxed. At the same time, it can make your muscles tighter and your lines smoother.
