Apart from a massage and heat,what's good for aching shoulders,I can feel knots in them.?

Question

Nothing wrong with heat, but using one of those wheat bags don't always help!

Answer 1

My shoulders often ache from sitting at a PC all day, and I too can feel knots in them. I find that weightlifting can help- it exercises the knotted muscles and loosens them up. Swimming is also pretty good for it.

I hope you find something to help, I know it can be a killer!

Answer 2

There is an exercise called the "turtle" that always works for me. Sit up right and make sure you do not move your neck - just your head. Move your chin forward slightly like a turtle would do - then draw it back again like a turtle going in to its shell. It is a very slight movement - but one that has big impact on the shoulder and neck muscles. The key is to limit the movement to your chin/head and don't let your shoulders or neck move. It's worth a try.

Answer 3

A doctor of chiropractic medicine can break down the knots and help you feel much better. I've enclosed to link where you can find a chiropractor in your area.

acupuncture is also very good for this condition. You might want to see an acupuncture doctor.
