Trapezius Exercises for Neck Physical Therapy

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Monica. This next exercise I am going to show you focuses on the upper trap muscles, so the muscles that are right on the back of your neck here. And it is also kind of a combination of a strengthening exercise but it is also great for relaxation as well. A lot of times at the end of the day we will have really tense shoulders all right up in here so a good way to try and get rid of that as well as build up your strength a little bit too would be these exercises. So nice tall posture again. What you are going to want to do is slowly raise your shoulders up like right like this and try and get to the point where you can't squeeze them anymore. You want to hold them, hold them, squeeze them as tight as you can, usually about five seconds and then relax. Come up again, hold up hold them hold them squeeze them again about five seconds and relax. You want to make sure you are doing your breathing while you are doing this as well so hold it up again. Hold them hold them and relax.
