Do you notice stiff shoulders for much of the day?
The feeling of stiffness in the shoulders is a very common discomfort. Some people describe it as a lack of mobility, while others feel that their shoulders are constantly tense, even without having made a great physical effort.
At first, it may appear only at the end of the day, but over time it is common for that feeling to last for more hours.
In consultation, I see this problem frequently, especially in people who spend many hours working in front of a computer, drive every day, or remain in the same position for too long in Terrassa.
Why can the shoulders feel stiff?
The shoulders and neck work together during many everyday activities.
Sitting for long periods of time
When the body remains in the same position for too many hours, the muscles begin to accumulate tension and mobility may decrease.
Daily stress
Stress can also manifest itself physically. It is common for many people to accumulate tension in their shoulders without being fully aware of it.
Lack of movement
The back and shoulders need to move frequently. When movement decreases, it is normal for a feeling of stiffness to appear.
Listening to these signals can help you.
What I encounter most often in my consultations are people who have been living with this sensation for months because they believe it is a normal consequence of their work or daily routine.
However, maintaining good mobility, changing posture frequently, and taking short breaks throughout the day can help you feel more comfortable and reduce that feeling of heaviness.
