Shoulder physical therapy to get rid of the pain

Shoulder pain is very common in IT employees. Sitting job makes you overlooked this problem and more often we think it will get off itself but actually, it is not. As if we leave it alone, further it will lead to any big problem, which might take you to the operation theatre. The physical therapist always helps to resolve shoulder pain.

Shoulder rehabilitation concentrates on two motions: flexibility and strength. Patients commonly experience difficulties to comb their hairs, reach to their back and buckling their seatbelts. This generally appears in your life due to an inadequate range of motion.

Another important element is, strengthening the muscles around the shoulder. Muscle injury mainly occurs due to improper activities.  

Simple shoulder exercises

A pendulum is the simplest exercise to relieve shoulder pain. Relax your shoulder, stand and then lean over, further support non-affected arm with chair or table and allow affected arm to hang down. Start rotating arm, like you are drawing circles in the air. Do 10 small circular rotations in each day. You will feel better.

Neck release

Maximum times, poor body postures can track shoulder problem. While sitting straight, calmly and slowly tilt your chin towards your chest until the stretch can be felt at the back of the neck. Next, lean your head towards the right shoulder to stretch left and vice versa. Perform this exercise for a minute on each side. Regularly do this to feel relax and maximize the stretch. 

Arm across the chest

In this, hold your right hand out in front of your body and stretch it towards the waist. Then left-hand reaches behind the elbow of right while pulling the right arm across the chest. Stay in this posture for another 30 to 50 seconds and eventually release. Do this stretching 3 to 5 times at a moment.
