Shoulder Blade Pain – Everything You Should Know

How to Prevent Shoulder Blade Pain

Below are some simple tips to help you prevent shoulder blade pain:

– Avoid lifting heavy items or carrying bags on one side

– Try to sit and stand tall and do not slouching to have a good posture. If necessary, buy a special pillow or an ergonomic chair to help your neck and spinal align

– Avoid sitting for an extended period. Make sure to stand up and stretch often after 45 to 60 minutes of working at a desk. This would help loosen muscles and reduce the risk.[9]
