Stress causing your upper back muscles to wrench super tight? This may help!
π§
Often practice members tell me that they notice their upper back (upper trapezius) muscles getting tight when stressed or during long work hours at the computer.

To get these muscles to relax and reset, esp. at the end of the day, put this strategy to good use.
The steps to loosening them up are:
1οΈβ£Β Scan the area
2οΈβ£Β Increase the pressure to borderline tolerable
3οΈβ£Β Tighten the muscle for 3 seconds, then relax (1-3x)
4οΈβ£Β Fan the area around the tender point
Spend about 2-3 minutes on each tender point. And make sure you scan the muscles on both sides. β¬ οΈβ‘οΈ
Let me know how it goes! π¬
