A muscular imbalance in your neck, shoulders, upper back & and chest is known as Upper Cross Syndrome. It is usually accompanied by pain, tightness & weakness with a restricted range of motion around these areas.
This, in turn, can lead to many functional pathologies such as shoulder blade injury, Rotator Cuff Injury, Impingement Syndrome, soft tissue damage (sprain/strain), Bursitis & Poor posture. The person may also be experiencing temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) headaches & migraines.
If you think you have UCS, you should seek treatment. UCS will worsen and can lead to you having trouble breathing, spinal issues, and a lower range of motion than usual. Treating UCS with Sports/Deep tissue manipulation has been proven to work.
