Try: Doing relaxing exercises on the floor with your arms at 90 degree angles to your body and 90 angles at the elbows with chin up. This position shortens the trapezius muscle fibers and allows the muscle to recover from chronic strain injury from poor posture. If this fails, see your pain management doctor.
