Shoulder Tension? Your Feet Might Hold the Unexpected Key to Relief
Feeling like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? If your shoulders are tight, achy, or stiff, you're not alone. Shoulder tension is an all-too-common complaint, especially for those of us spending countless hours hunched over desks or glued to screens. It's a silent burden that can manifest as nagging pain, restricted movement, and even those dreaded tension headaches.
What's Causing the Knots?
Poor Posture: Slouching or hunching over your computer puts constant strain on your shoulder muscles.
Stress: When you're stressed, your body releases cortisol, a hormone that can tighten muscles, including those in your shoulders.
Lack of Exercise: If you're not active, your muscles become weaker and more prone to tension.
Past Injuries: Old injuries can make your shoulders more susceptible to recurring tension.
Spot the Signs of Shoulder Tension:
Pain or stiffness in your shoulders, particularly after work or exercise.
Difficulty moving your shoulders freely.
Pain that radiates down your arms or up into your neck.
Tension headaches or dizziness.
