Upper Trapezius

The upper trapezius is located in between the neck and the shoulders, which are areas prone to muscle tension and pain.

So, stretching this muscle helps to relieve tightening or pain on the neck and shoulder area.

To stretch left trapezius:

With the right hand grab wrist of the left arm and pull the left arm to opposite side.

Tilt head away toward your right shoulder. Hold stretch for 10 seconds. Repeat to other side.

Remember to stretch to the point of a gentle tug, and if you experience any pain-STOP. Please consult your health care practitioner if you have any pre-existing condition, back, neck or joint pain, discomfort or any other health problem. *Please consult your doctor prior to administering any kind of new therapy.
