Dr. Jonathan Taves

In this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves dives into the explanation for shoulder pain and tension and why we often blame the upper trap. The fact is, we were not designed to be sedentary and for many of us, our job may require sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day (causing an increase in shoulder tension). We need to actually condition the upper trap in order to have a higher level of function and Dr. Taves provides a few practical tips to accomplish this. If you suffer from shoulder pain throughout the day- you don't want to miss this episode!
