Solutions for Shoulder Pain

It seems like everyone woman I talk to lately is complaining of shoulder pain. It’s becoming nothing short of an epidemic!
Research at Ohio State University found that shoulder pain is one of the top three complaints (behind lower back and neck pain), and that it’s much more likely to occur in women than in men. Experts agree that shoulder pain boils down to two things: hours of sitting, and repetitive arm movements.
One of the most common shoulder problems occurs when the muscles and tendons around the shoulder joint get pinched between the bones. Tendonitis and muscle strain are also common. If caught early enough, these conditions can be resolved through better body mechanics. It’s important to note, too, that shoulder problems are often aggravated by psychological stress and tension, and that they’re less prevalent in women whose daily routine includes yoga or other limbering/stress-reducing activities.
