Levator Scapulae Stretching
The Levator Scapulae is also a very common tight, problem muscle for deskbound workers. It's situated at the back and side of the neck. This is the one that will quite often feel very angry and achey if you've been hunched over a screen all day!
This stretch is similar to the Upper Trap Stretch.
How to perform
Sit in upright posture and draw your shoulder blades are drawn gently downwards.
Rotate your head slightly to the right. Take your right hand and reach over your head to rest just above your left ear.
Draw your head and neck gently to the right to achieve the stretch. Bend your neck softly to achieve this.
Hold it for 30 seconds. Repeat this process three times.
Perform this stretch whenever you feel tightness or soreness arising in this muscle.
