Say goodbye to shoulder and upper back pain that’s been affecting your posture and day-to-day activities! I’ve researched some easy-to-follow shoulder strength exercises and made a routine just for you. All you need is a mini band, some space, and a wall. As always, talk to your doctor before exercising and stop immediately if you experience pain or soreness.
