Upper Trapezius Stretch
Lower your arm
to hold the bottom of your seat, anchoring your
shoulder down during the stretch. Gently bend
your neck to the side away from your lowered
arm until you feel a light stretch along the
head, neck and shoulder. Avoid stretching too
strong. Hold 20 to 30 seconds while relaxing
with deep breathing. Repeat 3 times each side.
Stretching Tip: A
lighter, more comfortable stretch maintained
for 30 to 60 seconds is more favorable than
a shorter more intense stretch. You should be
able to relax the area under stretch during
the exercise.
These
stretches are meant as general guidelines, if
you have any concerns or questions regarding
your medical conditions, please consult your
physician.
