Many people notice that in the evening the collar of their clothes presses, and their head seems to sink into their shoulders. Often the reason is not physical activity, but the habit of raising your shoulders when typing or reading from a screen. Because of this, the blood flow is pinched, and the posture loses its natural lightness. There is one simple movement that relieves spasms without massage therapists or ointments. It relieves the trapezius and restores microcirculation.
How to do it:
- Sit upright, feet firmly on the floor, hands resting loosely on your knees.
- As you inhale slowly, gently lift your shoulders toward your ears without straining your neck.
- Hold for 3 seconds, feeling the tension in your upper back.
- As you exhale smoothly, sharply, but without jerking, lower your shoulders down, allowing them to fall under their own weight.
- Repeat 10 times.
- Perform 2 sets per day.
To enhance the effect, you can place your hands behind your back and slightly squeeze your shoulder blades, straightening your chest. This stretches the shortened pectoral muscles and reinforces the correct position of the shoulders.
