I personally will find that my right shoulder slumps down when I’ve been sedentary (like I am right now working on this blog post for the last five hours) or when I’ve worked out really hard. My body falls in and out of this positioning depending on the stresses of my environment. Uneven shoulders can also occur with activities or sports that are asymmetrical like golf, baseball, or tennis.
This asymmetrical shoulder positioning isn’t bad. It’s a part of being human and how you cope with everything around you. Again, it becomes a problem when you become “stuck” there and can’t align your shoulders effortlessly.

Without diving too far down the rabbit hole, this happens from a combination of our left hemisphere of the brain being dominant in motor planning and the asymmetrical nature of our organs (e.g. your 3-5 lbs liver on the right side of your body).
My body falls into this asymmetrical positioning because it feels safe and strong there. I’ve spent 20 something years there, built muscle, played baseball, and survived as an organism without anything horrible happening. So, you know, the brain abides by the ole’ saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But of course, us being conscious, “intelligent” creatures, we have to tinker with things.
How To Fix Uneven Shoulders
So, now the moment you’ve been waiting for. How to fix your uneven shoulders. Below I’ve prepared a video highlighting some exercises I use to pop my right shoulder up evenly as shown in the results above. My postures are completely relaxed and I’m not trying to “hold” the right shoulder evenly with the left (I promise. Scout’s honor).
Disclaimer: I’ve been practicing these breathing exercises for a long time and have a “relatively” dynamic ribcage (BRAG), so these exercises do have a quick effect on my posture / positioning. A proper assessment should be done to hone in on the effectiveness of these interventions. Lucky for you, I know a guy that can assess you and get your posture sitting nice and pretty (come on, let’s do a free consult).
