Key Points:

1) Complete this exercise using a lacrosse (LAX) ball (or similar item).

2) You will also need access to the beam of a squat rack or corner of a wall.

3) Place the LAX Ball on the upper trapezius muscle, lower the torso so that is parallel to the ground and gently step into the beam of a squat rack.

4) Once you find the trigger point (or muscle knot) ease off the pressure a bit and complete a variety of movements with the head and neck.

5) Hold this position for 20 – 45 seconds per side.

6) Complete 1-2 sets as needed.
