Let pain be your guide. Never force any position. Stop immediately if you feel sharp, shooting, or worsening pain. For vertigo, limited mobility, or if bedridden, work within a comfortable range and use a pillow for support.

Upper Trap Release

A gentle release for the chronically tight upper trapezius. You rest one hand on top of the opposite shoulder and press it down to anchor it, then turn your head toward that arm to lengthen the muscle along the side and back of the neck. Keeping the shoulder pinned down is what makes the stretch effective and helps unwind the tension that hikes the shoulder toward the ear.
