Easiest Way To Relieve Tight Shoulders (& Rhomboid Pain)

This quick, simple exercise helps to relieve shoulder tightness and "Rhomboid Pain". It opens up joints at the base of the neck and switches off tight traps.

By lengthening your neck, then pushing your head back against a wall, you open up space where the spinal nerve exits the spine. This can help relieve pain, numbness, or pins and needles in the arm.

Pushing the head back uses deep neck flexors in the spine, which reciprocally inhibits the Upper Traps and Levator Scapulae muscles.

The reduced pressure between the facet joints of the spine can also help reduce referred pain to the Rhomboid area of the upper back, so it's a great upper back pain relief exercise too.

Been suffering from these symptoms for over two years now, mainly from my Levator scap down my shoulder blade, into the inner elbow. I feel a deep burn and some momentary relief when I do this, guess I gotta keep going

Thank you. I have had this pain somewhere around my shoulder blade. It is bad that it affects my hand as it is kind of weak and also goes down to my legs. I have seen a physiotherapist who has recommended some exercises, I carried them out religiously for 3 months or more but no improvement. I went for massage, and it got worse after the muscle was massaged. Please I need help as this is really uncomfortable and painful as well

Hello sir, thanks a lot for your videos. Can we please have a video on popping colar bone?

If I do this movement and my left rhomboid and/or shoulder blade hurts like hell but the pain subsides when I keep my left shoulder down and slightly rotated inwards, what do I have?

[chaitai]

If one can reach the wall without the towel, that's finde too? I understand the towel is needed for people with a extremer form of fw head Posture right?
