Start Fixin Yo’ Sh!T - moveu.com
Tight neck? Headaches? Walking around with your shoulders up near your ears? This is for you! Tag a friend who walks around like Quasimodo, too! We spend a lot of time carrying tension in our upper traps. Here’s a little technique you can use at the gym to help yourself out.
This self-massage technique can be a great way to loosen up the muscles and help you achieve a more optimal positioning of your shoulder blades, head and neck. I frequently receive the question “what do you think of…” in regards to massage, chiropractic care, cupping, etc. They can be amazing tools when working on your body. To achieve long term results you must also strengthen though. None of those things offer a long term solution. Head to our quick fix exercise library at moveu.com to find more exercises for this area. .
When doing this please use common sense and don’t hurt yourself. Make sure you really focus on extending the arm away from you as if a string was pulling your hand away. This will intensify the stretch. You can apply that to lateral stretching of the neck. Play around with it. It’s fun!
