Understanding Shoulder, Elbow & Wrist Pain

“DISCOVER METHODS NECESSARY TO GAIN JOINT PAIN RELIEF! ” Understanding Shoulder, Elbow & Wrist Pain

Proper movement relies on your posture to be in good order. When you slouch or do a repetitive task, like reaching across your desk, certain muscles can become too tight or strong while others become weak. This muscle imbalance leads to the area not working as well as it should. For example, you sit at a desk all day and you slouch your shoulders. Now, your shoulder doesn’t work as well, but you still move your mouse around with your arm, which causes your wrist and forearm muscles to overwork. As this happens over time, you start to notice aches and pains in your wrist and elbow. If this goes on too long, it becomes severe and you need to seek out medical help. Solving the problem Typically a brace may be put on the area, but that does not solve the cause of the problem. The real reason can be because your shoulder was stiff and weak from

slouching. An expert physical therapist has the right medical training to spot where your posture is not optimum and how you are compensating.
