Why Your Neck & Shoulders Hurt
(Let’s Call It What It Is…)
Your neck and shoulders don’t just randomly wake up angry.
There’s ALWAYS a reason — and it’s usually one of these:
⸻
📱 1. ‘Text Neck’ — the modern curse
Looking down at your phone all day = instant neck strain.
Your head is heavy, babe. And your neck is tired of being a tripod.
⸻
🖥️ 2. Computer posture
Shoulders creeping up… head drifting forward…
This is the #1 cause of tight traps + headaches.
⸻
😬 3. Clenching your jaw
Stress + grinding = tension that shoots straight up the neck into the skull.
⸻
🛌 4. Sleeping without proper support
Too many pillows… no pillow… stomach sleeping…
Your neck pays the price every morning.
⸻
🚗 5. Long drives
White-knuckle steering + forward head posture = stiff neck city.
⸻
👶 6. ‘Mom neck’
Looking down at kids… feeding babies… carrying little humans…
Your neck works harder than you think.
⸻
🙄 7. Holding everything in your shoulders
Stress, overwhelm, and emotional tension settle right between the shoulder blades.
Your body literally carries what your mind doesn’t want to deal with.
⸻
🧺 8. Daily chores with bad posture
Dishes, laundry, sweeping — all done in a forward rolled, tight-shoulder position.
⸻
🏋️♀️ 9. Weak back muscles
When your upper back is weak, your neck overcompensates.
And it hates that job.
⸻
🧠 10. Being “the responsible one”
Seriously.
Mental load = physical load.
Your shoulders hold EVERYTHING you won’t say out loud.
⸻
❤️ Your body isn’t being dramatic — it’s giving you clues.
Neck + shoulder tension is your body whispering:
“Please take care of me.”
Let me help you release what’s built up…
so you can breathe, move, sleep, and live without carrying tension you don’t need.
