UPPER TRAPEZIUS ACTIVE MASSAGE

This is a self massage technique for your shoulder and neck muscles. Place a lacrosse or massage ball on the muscle belly of the upper trapezius and lean into a squat rack or doorway to compress the muscle within tolerable limits. Slowly tilt your head and neck away from the ball to actively engage the muscle in a stretch. Slowly return your head to starting position and repeat for 3-5 repetitions and then pick another spot if needed.
