How To Release Muscle Knots In Your Trapezius

Muscular knots and tightness are very common in the trapezius muscle. In this video I demonstrate how to release the knots in your trapezius muscle.

I just put ice on that nerve area you showed and got instant relief. (Currently chilling out on a bag of frozen veggies 😂)

I usually just cut open the skin and unknot the knot

just pressing with your fingers into the knot will release the tension, this is simple and effective. if you can try to relax the area with the knot.

I only wish I have seen this video a while ago. I have the nerve issue and have been rolling that damned ball across the spot where you mentioned that we shouldn’t. I could kick myself right now. lol thank you kindly sir for this important information.

Hey Dr. (thank you so much for this video post) my problem is obviously a nerve issue being that I have the pain running down the back area and it also runs across the shoulder and down my arm as well. Just as you stated it would . So Is there any technique I can use besides just the ice? Will acupuncture help for my nerve problem? I have been told I am dealing with bone spurs. It affects both of my arms but one side is worse than the other. It’s really tough dealing with this painful situation & a pain management doctor wants to give an epidural shot that I’m not to comfortable with doing. Please any advice would be mighty helpful sir.

What about if you've had that knot for over 20 years? Will dry needling work to release it? It's never really bothered me before but it's starting to now.

Thank you for the great explanation and advise! I was hoping rest would heal my tightness. Being a fitness, yoga instructor ....also work as an COTA yet need to getting more versed in trigger point, myofascial again, great explanations!

I always feel like a chiropractor spend like 20 min or so telling you what's wrong with you and the other 10 min just watching the clock 😅

I have the nerve issue and nobody could find its source until I saw this video..when I’m in pain my whole arm suffers from my shoulder to my wrist..what should I do? How do I explain so the doctor understands what’s the problem?

i have a knot n a band but no pain and it does not disappear

[QuackForceOne]

Can this type of knot cause headaches? Constant headache for 2 years? Because my doctors have no clue why i have headaches and i have a gigantic knot there..

These knots in the shoulder are so scary.

Would a chiropractor help the nerve related issue or who could I find to help fix my nerve problem
