How to relieve tight shoulders…
How to relieve tight shoulders… I get asked this question A LOT!
There can be a myriad of reasons why you might suffer tight and uncomfortable shoulders.
Poor postural alignment, faulty breath patterns or repetitive movements due to work or leisure activities to name a few.
Whilst a soothing massage would be nice… In the current lockdown situation you might benefit from a little self care to relieve tight shoulders in the form of a foam roller…
Don’t worry if you don’t own one! I have some solutions for that conundrum…
You can make your own using a workout mat or large towel.
