Stretching for neck shoulder and arms.




If you find yourself working hunched over a computer screen all day, it’s a good idea to take a stretch break every hour or so. The doorway stretch for your pectoralis muscles provides length for tight and contracted muscles and relief for those strained fatigued back muscles.





The next time you feel a painful “knot” in your muscle tissue take a moment to reflect on just how complicated a process it was for it to get there.

If this looks familiar to you, then you probably have trigger points. The muscles in your back and neck become strained and overloaded and the muscles in the front become shortened and contracted. When this happens trigger points can develop. These points will cause pain, refered pain, stiffness and weakness. Trigger points in the neck muscles can refer pain into the head and cause headaches.
