Upper crossed syndrome (Chest-Neck-Shoulder imbalance)
Rehab training for the injury
Rehab mobility and stability – Rehab strength training
Description of upper crossed syndrome
The program will prevent upper crossed syndrome, which is a muscular imbalance across the chest, neck, and shoulder region. Upper crossed syndrome is characterized by shoulders being pulled forwards by the tight chest muscles so that the arms hang in front of the body. Also, the thoracic spine (back of the chest) is rounded (kyphosis) which causes a sway in the neck. In this way the “crossed” muscular balance across chest, neck and shoulders is non-existent.
Symptoms of upper crossed syndrome
Injury resulting from the imbalance include:
- Bursae problems in the shoulder.
- Neck pain.
- Headache.
- Radiating symptoms in the arms etc.
- Impingement syndrome in the shoulder.
