My right shoulder feels like its a bit forward since march. I spent the location on my computer, having a bad posture throughout, also in march I think I did the pull up wrong (my guess is what is what caused my right shoulder to be a bit forward) the muscles on the right of my neck too feel like they are a bit stretched. I do not have any pain anywhere tho. The motion of my right shoulder is not as great as what it used to be and not as good as compared to my left. I personally even see a difference like one of the muscles in my right shoulder may be in a bit weird position (can share a video of it). I wanted to join a gym but I don't think I can, until this issue is fixed. Now this forward shoulder has become very annoying and feels like it needs to be fixed.

Bad posture can contribute to the severity and appearance of pectusexcavatum. Strengthening your postural muscles can help. Because we often work on our front body ? especially when strengthening our chest to help with pectusexcavatum ? this exercise will help balance your body by strengthening your posterior chain ? those muscles on the back of the body. 1.Lie on your stomach on a mat with your arms extended in front of you and your forehead resting on the ground. 2.As you inhale, lift your head, legs, and arms. 3.Hold for a count of 5 and gently release back to the ground. 4.Complete 2 sets of 10. Posture when standing: make sure you have a neutral pelvic position. Stand upright, head facing forward, back straight, and balance your weight evenly on both feet. Keep your legs straight and your head in line with your spine. Posture when sitting: a good seat for working should have good back support, arm rests and a swivel base. When sitting, try to keep your knees and hips level and keep your feet flat on the floor, or use a footstool. You should ideally be able to sit upright with support in the small of your back. If you are using a keyboard, make sure your elbows are at right-angles and that your forearms are horizontal. Shoes: flat shoes place less of a strain on the back. Driving: it is important to have proper support for your back. Make sure the wing mirrors are properly positioned so you do not need to twist. The pedals should be squarely in front of your feet. If you are on a long journey, have plenty of breaks. Get angle. Out of the car and walk around. Bed: you should have a mattress that keeps your spine straight, while at the same time supporting the weight of your shoulders and buttocks. Use a pillow, but not one that forces your neck into a steep. We suggest you to wear shoulder support brace which is available in two different sizes which makes the patient to feel comfortable as it maintains the shoulder in anatomical position and the short lever is maintained. The reason to maintain the short lever in the shoulder joint is it helps the shoulder to prevent the movements which itself is the key to have better progression of healing in the shoulder region. This is suggested for the following conditions. This shoulder support brace what we are suggesting for you is available at our clinic.
