Another cause of neck and shoulder pain may be from something that you deem very healthy for you, your daily workout.  This is especially true if your workout focuses a lot on your abs, believe it or not.  Be observant when you are working out to see if this is true.  If it is, experiment to see if there is a way you can position your body where this does not occur.

Perhaps the most common cause in women is carrying items that cause our bodies to become unbalanced and put a strain on our natural alignment.
