All Things Strength
HELPING YOU GET STRONGER SINCE 2004
Stiff neck? Sore shoulders? Try this Levator Scapulae stretch, courtesy Eric Cressey.
Love the description :
To stretch the right levator scapulae, put your right hand behind your back as if you’re getting handcuffed, then look down toward your left foot while pulling your head in that same direction with the left hand. You’ll feel a stretch along the right side of the back of your neck.
And yes, it works.
