Скачать или смотреть The Ultimate Neck Stretch | Ed Paget

Stretch the most underrated and forgotten about muscle in your neck, the Levator Scapulae. This one muscle can be the key to freedom from chronic neck pain.

This muscles attaches directly from the shoulder blade to the neck. When it contracts it can lift or elevate the shoulder or side bend the neck. This means it can be very difficult to stretch but can get irritated when using the neck and shoulder at the same time - think of sports like surfing and swimming.

When you take your arm up over your head the scapular moves into 'upward rotation'. This means the muscle's attachment on the superior medial border of the scapular are moved downwards, lengthening the muscle.

As you hold something above you it fixes the movement of the scapular and therefore fixes the inferior or lower attachment area. Now all you have to do is move you head to stretch the upper attachments and isolate this deep and difficult to stretch muscle!
