Head Up for Shoulder Relief

Keep your Head Up for Shoulder Relief

People that walk along the pavement looking at the ground eventually get a rounded back and shoulder pain. When the chin drops forwards, the back rounds and the shoulders fall forwards. We call this scapular protraction, and it’s a postural “no-no”.

So to rectify it, imagine you have a fishing-line attached to your chin. Now pull the fish line upwards to raise the chin. Your eyes should now be on the horizon line, chin up, and the back straightens and shoulders fall back into a more natural position.

This is really simple and effective so do give it a try.
