How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Place a massage ball between the upper inner corner of the shoulder blade and a wall.
  2. 02Lean into the ball gently and turn the head slightly away and downward to expose the levator scapulae.
  3. 03Make small, slow movements to explore the muscle rather than rolling over the spine or shoulder blade.
  4. 04Pause on a tender point and breathe steadily while keeping the shoulder relaxed.
  5. 05Reduce pressure or stop if symptoms become sharp, numb, or radiate into the arm.
