Do you experience tightness in your traps? . ▪️Most people have the feeling of upper trapezius tightness. Why? . ▪️Muscles help to support the skeletal system. When there is a large demand from the skeletal system then the muscles kick into overdrive. . ▪️The upper trapezius is usually working overtime to compensate for poor posture. . WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? . ▪️Correct your posture! Seriously, maintain the curve in the low back when you sit and that will help to position your neck in proper alignment. . ▪️Then you can start to focus on other areas like tight upper traps. . ▪️Power bands do a great job of stabilizing to shoulder blade to get an effective stretch through the upper trap. . ▪️The power band also “tacks“ the muscle down. This is a version of the “tack and stretch“ techniques that Chiropractors, massage therapists, and physical therapists use to release tension in muscles. .
