Yes, in the case of hunched back posture, which is particularly common in desk workers, a forward and downward posture disorder develops in the shoulders. This causes compression and pain in the soft tissues that pass under the shoulder blade.
In case of sudden onset of shoulder pain, pain due to injury and strain, it is recommended to apply cold first. Cold suppresses inflammation and reduces pain and swelling. Applying an ice pack wrapped in a towel to the joint for 20 minutes before going to bed, especially at night, is known to relieve night pain.
