Upper back pain along with stiffness and tightness in neck is a very common problem for prolong seated office workers , laptop users and students.
It can be easily relieved by regular stretching and rest but if the same is not being resolved by doing so , that means the root cause is another underlying cause which is causing the pain and the stiffness.
Upper cross syndrome is a common postural syndrome which happens due to the combination of multiple postural defects in neck and upper back where Upper Trapezius , Levator Scapulae , Pectoralis Major & Minor become tight and the Deep Neck Flexors , Lower Trapezius , Serratus Anterior , Rhomboids become weak and create an imbalance of the muscle synergy.
