Engage in Gentle Shoulder Stretches We advise
you to perform gentle stretches to enhance your
flexibility and ease your tense muscles. You can
perform shoulder rolls, fluid arm circles, and
cross-body stretches. However, avoid stretches
that might exacerbate the pain, maintaining a
delicate balance of comfort and relief. Maintain
Good Posture During the Day Poor posture
contributes to shoulder pain and, more
importantly, triggers a cycle of events that
spoils the balance of the body. Especially
overuse of electronic devices in prolonged poor
posture can exacerbate pain. So be mindful of
your posture while sitting, standing, and
particularly when working in front of a laptop
and using an electronic device. Make sure your
workspace is set up properly to maintain proper
workplace ergonomics.
