hey guys recently I did a video on how

to get rid of neck pain and stiffness on

the top part of your neck now I’m going

to do a video and how to remove it on

the lower part of the neck okay so it’s

really really simple

you have the trapezius muscles on the

top part the function of those muscles

is to shrug the shoulders up okay that’s

one of the functions so the principle

that I use always uses the opposite

muscle the the opposing muscle to

stimulate it or stretch it to relax this

muscle so if you have tight traps okay

tight shoulder muscles which pretty much

everyone does you’re going to be working

on the muscle that opposes that the

muscle that brings the shoulder down

okay and that would be underneath the

arm called the latissimus dorsi your lap

okay there’s a couple ways to do this

but I’m going to show you how to do this

on a chair all you need is a simple

towel and a chair so let’s show you how

to do it

alright so we got our towel right here

you just roll it up just like that okay

I got a simple chair and you’re gonna

take this and place it underneath your

armpit and you’re just going to stretch

upward so you’re basically stretching

the arm upward okay on the chair so

you’re separating out that muscle so

we’re just kind of slouching and lifting

it up okay if you have a tall back chair

you could probably do it easier but I’m

just creating a force that goes upward

on my shoulder okay so you’re gonna do

that side right there okay and then

we’ll do the other side right here okay

simple we’re going to stretch down this

muscle just like so and let it push up

okay right underneath the armpit and

there’s a little at connects to the

humerus and it comes down on the ribcage

and you’re just kind of making that

longer okay just do it for a couple of

minutes okay this is step one and then

go ahead and sit up and what you’re

going to notice as your shoulders are

real nice and loose and your neck is

really nice and loose now if you were to

do this on someone else

you can actually lift up take your hands

underneath their armpits in

lift it up and stretch their shoulders

up that are the same thing okay but

that’s how you would use this now we’re

going to do step two which you’re going

to take I’m going to show you on the

back part right through here you’re

going to take your scapula okay this is

just bone back there and you’re going to

kind of wing it out a little bit and get

hooked on the chair and you’re gonna

just slouch down and stretch this whole

shoulder upward okay so you can see that

I hooked the tip of my scapula and that

back part of the chair and I’m just

going to sit here for about a minute and

just push upward and by slouching my

body backward okay

then I’m going to shift and work on the

other scapula I know this looks weird

but it seems to work so I’m just going

to slouch back and I’m pushing my

shoulder upward and working on the

opposite muscles will send signals to

the traps and relax your trap muscles

you just need to try it and you will see

that it will work okay very simple very

quick go ahead and comment and tell me
