Round Shoulder Self-Diagnosis and Correction
What is Round Shoulder?
Round Shoulder is when the shoulders roll forward. It often appears together with forward head posture. Caused by prolonged computer or smartphone use and slouching, which shortens chest muscles and weakens back muscles.
Self-Check Method
Stand naturally with arms hanging at your sides. If the back of your hands face forward, you may have round shoulders. Normally, your thumbs should face forward. Also, stand with your back against a wall — if the back of your shoulders don't touch the wall, round shoulders are likely.
Main Causes
Prolonged slouching while sitting, looking down at smartphone, chest exercise dominance (lack of back exercises), carrying heavy bags in front, driving with shoulders pushed forward.
Corrective Stretching
Do doorway stretches (arms on door frame, chest open) 3 sets daily. Lying on a foam roller with arms spread for chest opening is also effective. Face Pull exercises with resistance bands strengthen back muscles and naturally pull shoulders back.
