If you are a shoulder pain sufferer, do you also slouch over a computer? If the answer is yes, you are almost certainly aggravating your own shoulder pain! Being slouched over a computer rolls the shoulders inwards, and shortens the pectoral muscles (chest muscles). This puts the rotator cuff muscles at a mechanically disadvantaged position which weakens them, and leaves them prone to injury.

Try this tip – let your shoulders relax when sitting in a chair. Gently squeeze your shoulder blades together which will pull the shoulders back and take loads of stress off the shoulder areas.
