Why Your Shoulders Always Hurt
(and How Self-Massage Helps)
Shoulders seem to take the brunt of modern life — stress, posture, and even emotions often sit right there!
Why Shoulders Hurt:
Poor posture (tech neck, desk hunch)
Stress and tension buildup
Repetitive movements
How Self-Massage Can Help:
Tension Melt Technique
Cup one hand over the opposite shoulder.
Squeeze gently and move your hand in small circles.
Focus on areas near your neck and across your upper back.
Repeat on both sides, and breathe deeply to maximize the effect.
Self-massage improves blood flow, resets posture, and reminds your muscles it’s safe to relax.
