Upper Back 💢 Pain? Try this out! 👀

I have returned after a 2 month hiatus! Just needed a little social media break!

Here's my favourite exercise to give to patients that need to move a bit more with their sore necks, shoulders and upper back!

The cues are to pretend something is in between your shoulder blades, and then to squish back as hard as you comfortably can!

Next you want to shrug your shoulders up nice and high - you'll be using your upper traps here, which most of us, to be honest, could use a bit more (the shrugging action at least). You can bring your neck back a bit if it's more comfortable.

Then you'll want to roll your shoulders forward - keep in mind this means only your shoulder and shoulder blade should be moving, not your head and neck, or your back itself.

Lastly, you'll want to roll your shoulders downwards, really pull them down to the ground - you'll feel the difference despite it not looking like much.

Practice in front of a mirror if you have to!

Enjoy, and share it with someone who works from home or at an office job! Honestly, anyone who uses a screen too much really
