Why our shoulders accumulate so much tension?

941 views

Most of us like a random shoulder massage. It seems like we have a constant tension in this region. Specifically when we are stressed.

So why the shoulders? Why not the legs, arms or stomach? And where does tension come from, anyway?

It’s one of the tradeoffs of evolving from 4 legs animal to straight up walking.
Our spine get compressed and our shoulder’s hang all the time so muscles have to work all day whit out support, or movement that release the tension.
On your legs, you instinctively stand on one leg for a wile then on the other, so they Don’t get as stressed.
If there is something that I learned of this pandemic and the enforcement of home office, is that you can “store tension” on your lower back, and the importance of ergonomic office hardware.
