Shoulder exercises for breastfeeding neck pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if special shoulder-blade (scapular) exercises can help reduce neck pain in mothers who are exclusively breastfeeding. The exercises are simple and designed to strengthen the muscles that support your neck while you hold your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
