With the increase of social pressure, many young people are also very busy and have great work pressure. More people don't want to exercise, and few people take time to go to the gym. In addition to feeling that the exercise process is very hard, of course, many people have left a whole body of problems after exercise, such as muscle aches. In fact, even if we don't exercise, muscle pain will bother us. Neck pain and shoulder pain are almost problems regardless of age, gender and difference.

In fact, the main cause of neck and shoulder pain is that stretching is not done well. Due to living habits and stress, many people's muscle state is in an unhealthy stage, and many physical pains are caused by muscle problems. Proper stretching will keep our bodies in a healthy state, greatly improve the temperament of the whole person, and fully exercise and protect our muscles.

First, the upper trapezius muscle is stretched.

Trapezius is a large flat muscle, which connects the shoulders, neck and back. Trapezius muscle will be used for shoulder lifting, head turning and scapular contraction. Because of various pressures in life, many people will be in a state of tension, and trapezius muscle is also a very sensitive and tense part. When under great pressure, trapezius muscle will also be in a state of tension. The most obvious sign is subconsciously tightening your shoulders, that is? Shrugging your shoulders? . And shrug for a long time? It will make the whole person lose his temperament, which is not important. The most important thing is to cause his shoulder pain, which can be well corrected by trapezius stretching.

We need to sit in a chair with our feet apart, hold the lower edge of the chair backwards with our right hand, lean to the left, and feel a pulling feeling on the right side. At this time, it is necessary to pause for a while to let the body adapt to this feeling. The stretching time does not need to be too long, each time 10 seconds, with a break of 20 seconds, 5- 10 times a day.

Second, scalene muscle stretching.

The scalene muscle is located on both sides of the neck, and we can touch it with our hands. Its function is to help the head tilt to both sides. In addition, it can also play an auxiliary role when we inhale hard. This action is also very helpful for our body to relax, which is more suitable for office workers who often sit, young people who like to play mobile phones, and people who often tilt their heads. The stretching of scalene muscle is basically the same as that of upper trapezius muscle. The most important thing is not to turn when you move your head, otherwise it will become a stretched trapezius muscle. Many people think that these two movements are similar, but the training parts are actually different. Sometimes a little change will affect the whole person's physical condition.

Third, the muscles under the pillow are stretched.

I believe many people have never heard of this name. This muscle is located just below the skull base, probably the soft part to the west of the back of the head. It consists of four pairs of short muscles. Its important function is to help the head lean back and stabilize the head movement. Many people habitually stretch their necks forward when playing games or typing online. This action only needs to stand, sit and lie flat. Put your fingers behind your head, press your thumb on the muscles around the skull base, slowly stretch your head down for about 10 second, then slowly recover and rest for 10 second. You can come and relax every day when you are tired, which can better relieve stress and improve your physical condition.

In addition to stretching to relieve pain, you can actually rely on this instrument to relieve cervical pain! Because I have been writing for a long time, stretching is no longer working, so I also use it, and the effect is good!
