Foam Roll for Rounded Shoulders
Rounded shoulders are becoming more and more common today due to how we live and move. We have become more sedentary and are not moving as much as we used to. With all of this sitting, it is becoming more natural to have a rounded forward posture. With this posture comes tension and tightness in our chest and shoulders and pain near the shoulder blade in our mid and upper back. Here are some foam roll exercises for rounded shoulders
Foam rolling can be a great way to relieve tension and improve flexibility in your muscles. If you have rounded shoulders, foam rolling can be particularly beneficial. Here are three reasons why:
- Relieving tension in the chest muscles – Rounded shoulders are often caused by tightness in the chest muscles. Foam rolling your chest can help to release this tension and improve your posture.
- Improving shoulder mobility – Foam rolling your upper back and shoulders can help to improve mobility in these areas. This can help to reduce the strain on your shoulders and neck, and improve your overall posture.
- Reducing pain and discomfort – Rounded shoulders can cause pain and discomfort in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Foam rolling can help to alleviate this pain by improving flexibility and relieving tension in the muscles.
Overall, foam rolling can be a simple and effective way to improve your posture and reduce pain and discomfort caused by rounded shoulders.
