Dr. Adam McCluskey PT, DPT on Instagram: "❌This small muscle could be causing your neck and shoulder pain! (Full Program @theptinitiative Bio Link)
—
There is a small muscle that connects the shoulder blade to the neck, and can be really problematic if it gets overactive and tight.
—
It’s called the Levator Scapulae and it is a common source of neck pain and shoulder blade movement problems.
—
This muscle helps you elevate your shoulder blade, and bend your neck to the side, but can limit your ability to lift your arm overhead optimally if it’s restricted.
—
To begin fixing this issue I recommend doing this active Levator Scapulae release technique with a lacrosse ball to decrease the tonicity and tightness of this muscle.
