Who else is missing a massage?
I'm going to take a crack at posting some self-care videos to help us all work on feeling our best. This video focuses on the upper trapezius muscle--you know, the chronically angry one...
✨
All you need are two balls of any kind and to remember that less is sometimes more.
✨
Start by lying on your back, keeping your knees bent and feet on the ground. Place a ball underneath each upper trap being cautious to avoid all boney bits (the spine and scapula).
✨
To increase sensation, you can elevate the hips into a supported bridge pose. If you are feeling discomfort or too much pressure, try placing a blanket or towel over the balls.
✨
Once you have yourself set up, try slowly reaching your arms overhead and then lowering them back down by your sides.
✨
Less is more--don't overdo it!
