Upper Traps Strain? Try These Exercises!

In this video I will go over three categories of exercises for upper trapezius pain: massage, stretching, and strengthening. Massaging and strengthening are great for immediate symptom relief, and strengthening is key for long term relief. Massage: the massage techniques I am going over are self-massage techniques. The trigger point release of the upper trapezius is recommended by both SpineCare Decompression and Chiropractic Center as well as Physical Therapy 101. Strengthening: Physiotutors, SpineCare, and Bob & Brad all recommend some form of upper trapezius strengthening. SpinCare and Physiotutors both recommended a overhead shrugs. Bob & Brad and Physiotutors both recommended monkey shrugs.
