What is Upper Crossed Syndrome & How is it Affecting You?

What is Upper Crossed Syndrome, and how does it affect you? 🤔

Upper Crossed Syndrome is a postural imbalance that can lead to chronic pain and tension. With our modern sedentary lifestyle, especially from sitting at a desk or hunching over devices, it’s become increasingly common.

The symptoms? Tight muscles like the pecs, levator scapula, SCM, and upper traps 😣, along with weak muscles such as the lower traps and rhomboids. This combination leads to a hunched-forward posture and can cause neck pain, restricted shoulder movement, and headaches.

What can you do about it? 💡

Get your pecs, levator scapula, SCM, and upper traps massaged💆‍♂️
