Um, no. Actual physical pain in the muscles of the neck and shoulder.
A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology explored treatments for women with chronic neck and shoulder pain. The women were divided into three groups: strength training of the neck and shoulder, aerobic exercise (bicycling), or no exercise.
Researchers found that strength training reduced trapezius muscle pain for the women in that group. The other two groups did not experience a reduction of pain.
