The levator scapulae stretch is an important stretch to add to your routine if you are dealing with chronic neck pain, stiffness, achiness. The levator scapulae muscle originates from the neck and inserts into the superior angle of the shoulder blade. When performing the levator scapulae stretch (also known as levator scap stretch) it is important to depress the shoulder blade while moving the neck to maximize the benefit of the stretch. You may notice more of a levator scapulae stretch on one side versus the other. This is quite common in people who are experiencing chronic tightening of this muscle. • A tight levator scapulae muscle can cause neck pain, upper back pain, upper shoulder blade ache, and headache symptoms to name a few. Poor posture is often the culprit for tight levator scap muscles as many of us sit with a rounded shoulder posture for long periods of time on a day to day basis. Injury to these muscles can also be due to improper use during exercise, whiplash injuries, and head impacts during sport. • Active release technique for levator scapulae tightness is excellent in office treatment to help alleviate tension in this muscle. Graston technique for levator scapulae tightness can also help by bringing blood flow to the area to allow the tissues to regenerate at a higher capacity. • Our sports chiropractors are trained to evaluate muscle imbalances, different types of neck pain, headaches, and upper back pain.
