Myofascial Release for Tight Shoulders: self massage for the tops of your shoulders (upper traps)

Do you have tight shoulders? You know, this part up here between the neck and shoulder heads (aka the upper traps) where we hold a lot of tension. Whether we’re stressed and tense from all the things going on in our busy lives, sitting at desks, or carrying a heavy pack; it sucks having to “just deal with it”.


This video will share a myofascial release technique (aka self massage using props) that will help release some tension in that space.


Props:

  • ball for myofascial work

  • wall corner that comes out towards you
