I been leaning over a desk with a magnifying glass at an acute angle for 1 year. the tension in my shoulder blades is crazy. how do i reverse this ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Relax muscle spasm: Massage, acupuncture, biofeedback, and heating pad to relax the rhomboid and superior trapezius muscles. A physical therapist can set up a program for you. Swimming and yoga would be exercises to pursue.
