HERE'S A QUICK RELEASE FOR UPPER TRAPEZIUS MUSCLE TENSION. 

Trap pain is classic STRESS pain.   When they get tight, it causes the shoulders to ache, the neck starts to hurt and it is often felt as deep and achy. Headaches are a common result too, especially in the temples, behind the eyes, or the base of the skull.⠀

So what makes the traps angry?  A big issue is having the head bent or turned towards one side for a long period of time. HINT: this is why stomach sleeping is so bad! ⠀

Also, constantly bending forward causes strain (and bad posture) on the upper back and neck. So look at desk work, sitting at the computer, or using cell phones throughout the day. No wonder why trap pain is a big issue...⠀

 In this video, upper trapezius muscle tightness is tackled with a quick exercise that's going to offer a lot of relief. It can be done pretty much anywhere and anytime. It's going to focus on hitting the area that connects the neck to the upper back and shoulders.⠀
