Posterior shoulder pain

Your shoulders are subjected to a lot of stress every day, whether it’s from sports activities or the one-sided stress of everyday life, especially from sitting for long periods of time. Unfortunately, this stress often leads to a muscular imbalance between the strong front shoulder area and the weak back shoulder area. The consequence of this is stressed and tense shoulders that feel immobile. When you move your shoulders, you then feel an uncomfortable pressure and can even lose strength.

Information

General information

The posterior shoulder, also known as the deltoid or posterior deltoid, is an important muscle in the upper back and shoulder region. Consisting of several muscle heads, it is responsible for the movement and stability of the shoulder joint. The posterior deltoid is also crucial for rotating, raising and lowering the arm, as well as stabilizing the shoulder blades.

Causes

Pain and tension in the posterior shoulder can be caused by the following:

Muscular imbalance: a common trigger for posterior shoulder pain is an imbalance between the muscles in the front and back of the shoulder. Often, the muscles in the front are more developed and pull the shoulders forward. This can lead to tension and pain in the back of the shoulder.
Poor posture: especially sitting for long periods of time with the upper body bent forward, can pull the shoulders forward and overstretch the muscles in the back of the shoulder. This affects posture and can lead to pain.
Overuse: sports activities that put a lot of stress on the shoulder, such as tennis or weight lifting, can put a lot of strain on the back shoulder.
Stress: increased stress levels can cause tension in the shoulder muscles and subsequent pain. Nerve compression: in some cases, nerve compression of the suprascapular nerve, can cause posterior shoulder pain.
