When angel wings stop flying for too long… base of the wings stiffen and freeze up. Then the neck area gets stiff and sore. Keep that area, between and across the scapula – you know, where we once had our wings, soft by gentle stretches and keep your “angel wings” fluttering:) Some specific arm movements can help but first find out the root cause to rule out anything serious – such as actual Injury, Diabetes, Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), Cardiovascular disease, or Parkinson’s disease – with a visit to the doctor if the discomfort is persistant and prolonged. Usually, it’s not serious but resulting from lack of use or limited use confined in preset pattern, i.e., a restricted range of motion over a long period of time.<\/p>\n

Try Warm\/hot bath up to and over the base of the neck, to cover the shoulders (unless its acute inflammation then ice), or use heating pads… roll out your shoulders into a posture that does not collapse the rib cage, and deeper breathe rather than shallow clavicle breathing … may be a less invasive remedy. If you don’t use them, you lose them. So if still too painful, use them with doctor approved meds for temporary pain relief – until they defrost. Once defrosted, perhaps not use pain medication and continue the gentle stretching in a methodical slow way… By no means do not aggravate by forcing anything – The motto would be gentle and kind… you can regenerate your angel wings back in place:) Your body is intelligent and wants to heal. It knows what to do.
