Simple Exercise To Help Shoulder Blade Pain

Dr. Arnan Sisson, PT / April 18, 2022

For people who sit for long periods of time, either at a desk, or when driving, performing shoulder circles as demonstrated in the video above can be an effective way to avoid muscles becoming overworked, and discomfort setting in.

To perform shoulder circles:

  1. Raise the shoulders up
  2. Squeeze the shoulder blades back together in the center of your upper back
  3. Hold for 5 seconds
  4. Slowly lower the shoulders
  5. Repeat for around 1 minute before resting

This exercise works the muscles between the rib cage and the spine which when strong allow proper movement of the shoulder and takes the pressure off the shoulder joint. By doing this it reduces the risk of agitating nerves which is a major cause of pain.

To avoid pain returning, try to minimize hunching over and bring the shoulders back, and down.

Natural Ways To Ease Shoulder Blade Pain

Due to the recurrence of shoulder troubles after more traditional physical therapy, more and more people are putting their faith in specialists to ease their muscle pain, and get back to doing the things that they love; whether that’s returning to the golf course, being able to get back to their favorite exercise classes, or simply being able to enjoy weekend activities with their family.

However, we know that there are still some people unsure whether specialty physical therapy is going to be the right option for them, and confused as to how it even works.
