Toss aside the lacrosse ball and stop over-stretching your upper traps. Instead, try movements that contract the traps through their full range under load. This signals your brain to relax the muscles, improving blood flow and reducing nerve tugging.  Often, the upper traps take over from deep neck flexors and stabilizers. Addressing these muscles can relieve tension from the traps. Additionally, limited thoracic spine movement can contribute to neck discomfort. Incorporating rotational movements can be very effective in easing tightness in your upper traps.

Dr. Stephanie Ridgway • Physical Therapist on Instagram: "If you’ve had tight upper traps, you know that sometimes it feels like they will never loosen up. You can try massaging them and rolling them, but nothing seems to work. If this is happening to you, you may need to try strengthening your traps and your upper back muscles. When muscles are weak, they tend to tighten up. The traps can also tighten up if your other upper back muscles are weak. Try doing 2-3 sets of 10 reps of each of these exercises 4-5 times per week and see if your traps loosen up!
