Dealing with numbness & tingling into the wrist, hand, or fingers? If this is you, We're going to show you how to get relief from wrist pain  👇

😭The upper trapezius muscles (the triangular muscles that extend from the sides of your neck to your shoulders) always gets a bad reputation for contributing to the various neck or shoulder pain. BUT, they can be helpful too!🙌

In this video, you will find out how to use this good old "bodybuilding" exercise to elevate your shoulder girdle (mainly your collarbone) position to bring you some relief for your constant neck-shoulder-arm-hand pain. It's pretty nice, eh? 😄

Here's how to perform the Shoulder Shrugs Exercise:
1️⃣- You want to start out with adequate weight so that you can perform 3 sets of 10 reps comfortably. *Remember, heavier weights can overly depress the shoulder position and create more compression on the nerves so start light and work your way up. 

2️⃣- When performing the shoulder shrug, hold the weights in a NEUTRAL grip (arms at side, knuckles facing out) and elevate your shoulders to your ears slowly with control. You should feel most of the work at your upper traps. 

3️⃣- Lower your shoulders ¾ of the way down then back up again. Do not let the weight drag your shoulders down ALL the way as that can COMPRESS the nerves and aggravate them. *you should not feel any symptoms (numbness/tingling/pain) during the entire duration of this exercise. 

We regularly see patients who have numbness or tingling into their arms. This is common in individuals who work from home at a computer 👩‍💻, hair stylists, nurses, paramedics, and anyone who performs repetitive motions everyday for work. This is also true for sport athletes that do a lot of overhead motions. 

At Mobility Plus Sports Rehab, we always start with a thorough exam to make sure we understand your case and provide you with personalized ways to overcome them. We help our patients get rid of their chronic pain quickly and prevent it from coming back. 

How do we do this? We do so by educating our patients with self-management strategies and provide pain relief in the office.
