1. 3 ways to improve neck and shoulder pain

1. Turn your head in different directions frequently.

2. Roll your shoulders back and even stretch.

The Jianjing point is located in the center of the line connecting the base of the neck and the shoulder. Once you press the Jian Jing point, you will feel a very comfortable tenderness (pain when pressing), and it is easy to find.

You can also pinch your armpits and put your fingers together on the other shoulder. At this time, the place where the middle finger touches is the Jianjing point.

When shoulder pain spreads to the back, pressing the Tianzong point will be effective. Tianzong point is an acupuncture point located in the center of the shoulder blade. On the back of the shoulders, there are triangular bones on both sides, namely the shoulder blades.

Touch the center of the shoulder blade with your fingers. You should be able to feel the depression formed by thinning of the bone. Press it and if you feel a tingling sensation, that is the Tianzong point. To enhance the effect, you can also stimulate other points such as Fengchi and Tianzhu.
