3 Ways to Stretch the Levator Scapula Neck Muscles

One of the best ways to stretch the levator scapulae neck muscles is very simple, which is almost stupid, but feels great, and you'll find yourself using this stretch many times a day. Standing or sitting, spine straight, tailbone gently tucked under. Throughout the upper scapula stretch, make sure your shoulders are down, your neck is straight, and you look forward. Straighten your arms forward so that they are parallel to the ground and your fingers cross. Turn your wrist so that your palm is away from you, and when you try to draw your arm closer, push your hand out. You should feel the stretch of the neck and upper shoulders immediately. Take 3 to 5 deep breaths and repeat as often as possible to relieve stiff and sore neck and shoulders. A woman's neck is stretching. (picture: 4774344sea / iStock / Getty Images)
