Ever feel like you’re constantly rubbing the top of your shoulder and the side of your neck?
It might not be your upper traps.
Your levator scapulae works hard every time you look over your shoulder, shrug, spend hours at a desk, drive or carry bags. When it tightens up, it can leave you with:
• A stiff neck
• Pain at the top of the shoulder
• Tension headaches
• That annoying knot you can never quite get rid of
Stop chasing the symptoms and start treating the muscle causing them.
