Decreasing tissue tension in the levator scapula can help relief for:
Painful neck range of motion after non traumatic muscle spasm
Discomfort from poor neck and back posture
Tissue Resistance for improving head positioning
Use a tennis ball or lacrosse ball as your soft tissue tool.
Find a flat door or wall to lean against. Place the lacrosse ball between your spine and the top corner of your shoulder blade. The ball should only compress on muscle tissue, and not on the joint or bone.
Once the ball is compressed, Slowly roll up and down until you find areas that feel tightness, tenderness, or soreness.
Hold the compression with the ball for 5 to 10 seconds. Repeat up to 5 times.
For a deeper tension or stretch, compress the ball, then bring your chin to your chest, then look to the opposite arm pit. Over pressure with your opposite hand can provide an even deeper stretch, as long as you keep it non painful.
