You ever realize you just need to relax your shoulders more?

[Fizzzzle]

I find that I keep my shoulders tense all the time. I have to make a conscious decision to relax them, and every time I do, im like "why don't I just do this all the time?"

 

And then I wonder why my back hurts after a 12 hour shift, like I'm doing today

I don't relax.

I think for me it’s more tensing my jaw, not grinding my teeth per se but just holding it kind of tightly shut.

I swear I had this exact thought last night. Sometimes I wear a posture corrector for fun. Makes me realize how shitty I carry myself.

I relax my shoulders every night. It’s called sleeping.

Now that you mention it, relaxing my jaw and ears is another thing.

Honestly you made me realize I probably do the shoulder thing too like 24/7 but then I stopped thinking about it cuz I’m too lazy to correct.

I foam roll my shoulders/upper back every night
