Upper Trapezius Stretch
Exercise Overview
This exercise aims to stretch out the Upper Trapezius muscle. Shown in the video is a head pull away from the anchored shoulder, however pulling the head in the same direction of the anchored shoulder works just as well! Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds or as needed for immediate relief. Remember to follow up all stretches with strengthening or mobility exercises in order to get effective long term results.
