Upper Traps Trigger Point Release | Beginner Routine

If you're like me, you know how frustrating it can be to deal with tension headaches and upper back pain. That's why I wanted to share this beginner routine for releasing trigger points in your upper traps.

1. In the upper traps, trigger points can create pain near the eye and in the head, similar to tension headaches. To release these trigger points, I use my fingers or a tool to perform micro movements on the tender spots for 1-2 minutes. It may not sound like much, but trust me, it can make a big difference!
2. For the middle and lower traps, I like to use a massage ball against the wall. I aim for the areas around the scapula that feel the most tender. This technique can help to relieve pain in the back of the head and upper back.
3. If you have trigger points in the lower traps, they might be creating weakness within the muscle, which is why it's not getting stronger. To work on this muscle, perform the same techniques as the middle traps, but this time, aim for the lower portion of the scapula.

Overall, this routine is a great way to release tension and promote relaxation in your upper traps. Make sure to work each area for 1-2 minutes. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!
