Why do your upper traps always feel SO tight?
If you’re constantly rubbing, stretching, or rolling your neck and shoulders, you may be treating the symptom instead of the source.
Your upper traps don’t work in isolation. When the muscles across your chest become tight, they can contribute to rounded shoulders and alter the way your shoulder blades move.
That can leave your upper traps picking up extra work all day long. 😣
So instead of asking, “How do I loosen my traps?”
Sometimes the better question is…
👉 “What’s making my traps work so hard in the first place?”
Massage therapy can help address the surrounding muscles and movement patterns—not just the spot that hurts.
