Training Protocol
Strengthen: mid/lower traps (face pulls, Y-raises), deep neck flexors (chin tucks), external rotators. Stretch: pecs, upper traps, levator scapulae. Thoracic spine mobility (foam roller extensions, open books). Set a 30-min movement alarm.
Nutrition Strategy
Magnesium (glycinate, 400mg before bed) for muscle tension. Adequate water (dehydration worsens stiffness).

Shrugs (overworks already-tight upper traps), forward-head phone posture, sleeping on stomach.
