In the modern era, stiff shoulders are a common problem for many people, and each of us is seeking ways to combat this problem. However, many people find it difficult to continue. Therefore, we propose a method for improving stiff shoulders using music that can be easily practiced. Music has a positive effect on the body and mind, especially in terms of relaxation. Listening to music promotes the secretion of happy hormones and reduces stress, which can be expected to relax the entire body and relieve muscle tension. Stiff shoulders are caused by lack of blood flow, stress, lack of sleep, and fatigue, and music is suitable for relieving these conditions. Musical stimulation through the ears helps the brain to relax and relieve muscle tension. Classical music and quiet music are especially effective. In addition, through breathing exercises, the parasympathetic nervous system can be made dominant and blood flow can be improved. It is recommended to master “belly breathing,” inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth, and to match the rhythm of the music to enhance the relaxing effect. Specific methods include performing light stretches while listening to music or taking deep breaths to quiet music. In addition, playing quiet music during the treatment will help to relieve tension and create a relaxing environment. Studies have shown that listening to music can reduce symptoms of stiff shoulders and provide relaxation. It is understood that music therapy promotes relaxation of the body and mind and contributes to the relief of various physical symptoms, including stiff shoulders. Thus, it is important to find a method that works for you and practice it, as it is possible to counteract shoulder stiffness by incorporating music. See you again in the next blog!
