Self Massage for Neck and Shoulder Tension

Relieve neck stiffness and shoulder tension with this simple self-massage routine you can do right at your desk.
If you struggle with "tech neck," tension headaches, neck pain, or tight upper traps from sitting at a computer, this follow-along self-massage is for you. We’ll target the specific trigger points where your neck meets your shoulders and release tension at the base of the skull (occipital ridge) to improve your posture and range of motion instantly. The difference before and after feels like a magic trick! Join me, Ann Swanson, Licensed massage therapist.
