Shoulder Pain from Gym or Desk Work? Here’s How to Fix It for Good

Introduction

Shoulder pain is one of the most frustrating injuries — especially because it affects everything from training to daily movement.

And like most injuries, it doesn’t just happen overnight.

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

Common causes include:

• Poor posture (rounded shoulders)

• Overuse from training

• Tight chest muscles

• Weak upper back

This creates an imbalance and strain around the shoulder joint.
