- Dr. Rowe shows how to quickly relieve trapezius muscle tightness and pain in a step-by-step guide.
If you're unfamiliar with the trapezius, it's a large muscle that runs throughout the whole back and it's comprised of three separate areas: the upper, middle, and lower.
When this muscle becomes strained and inflamed, it can cause a lot of issues including neck pain that works its way to the shoulders, and downward into the shoulder blades.
We're going to make getting relief easy by targeting each area separately, in three different parts.
To get the best results, make sure to go through all parts (and exercises) in this video and use what offers you the most relief.
As a bonus, all of these exercises can be done at home, require no equipment, and may give quick pain relief... even in as little as 30 SECONDS!
Watch now and get rid of trapezius muscle pain for good!

Shoulder dislocation to recover exercise
Is there any way to self release a fixed L5 - S1 facet joint? I need to visit my chiropractor each week, and actually the joint is stuck again within a matter of days.. She uses a Thompson table. (I play golf that probably doesn't help). I also have degenerative disks at a.o. the L5 disc, which could be the cause of the fixation in my opinion. I live in Europe and follow your videos! Highly appreciated!
Helping me with a stiff neck n pain
mine began in Barber School !
Thanks Doc. Your a life saver🙏❤
WOW!! ABSOLUTELY WOW! Over 10 years of muscle knots in the upper traps, crazy tension headaches, thousands in physio, and God helped me to find this video...and muscle knots gone in minutes. Thank you thank you thank you for making this video. May God bless you, your family, and your career.
Belly laughed when I read this. Actually laughed thinking what BS. I've been suffering for years with my shoulders, doctors dont help just want you on tabs. Tried the first 2 exercises and them to alone felt amazing. Like unreal. So your definitely right with what you have said. Can't believe it to be honest
Me too mate, 12 years for me and now I started believing in God again, I was going through boxes and boxes of pain killers a week to help my headaches and now I know it was all because of muscles knots/injury to my upper traps.
i have been in constant chronic pain because of arnold nevralgia for 4 years. Almost can't move, can't drive. Drugs to keep me able to work. My whole life out of work was dedicated trying to find a way to get rid of the pain. No social life, no hobbies, no friends, just me trying to get rid of the pain. I've seen physical therapists, even neurologists, but nobody could help.
Stress makes my upper traps very tense. The exercise you showed made the pain go away for the first time in 4 years. I'm a grown man but crying tears of relief. You have no idea what this means to me. thank you !
I wish for everyone here, further relief.
I think I know what you're feeling!!!
Do exercise regularly. I have the same problem.
When I was around 20 years of age, I was doing bodybuilding, playing American Football and building houses here in Germany. I got pain from the back around to my heart. Mostly in the heart area. So I was concerned about it and I went to the doctors ... for 2 weeks. Nobody found anything. My father at the time was a truck driver and was 2 weeks on the road at that time. When he came back I told. I didn't even fully explained him the problem. He just asked me to turn around, put my T-Shirt off and he starts to massage my "Trapezmuskel" (Trapezius muscle). The pain was gone after 5 minutes. A truck driver knew more than all of the doctors. 😁
It wasn't an ordinary treatment. It was the hands of your loving father that took away all the pain. Respect 🙏
@@tayyabkhan5020 Yes, Mr. Khan. But the point was that not every doctor is good in diagnostics. Ask Dr. House. ;-)
I had/have the exact same problem. I thought I was having minor heart attacks or angina it was so painful. Turns out to be trap/back issue. I still have it but as long as I watch my posture, stretch and work out the kinks it's manageable. I saw around 8 different doctors and every one had a different diagnosis and therefore a different treatment, none of which worked at all. Never put faith in someone just because they have a title or a degree. Some were quite frankly useless, and the best relief and advice Ive gotten are usually from 'unqualified' people who have shared the pain or know someone who has. Sometimes it's just best to leave doctors out of it as they only treat symptoms, complicate it, or get it wrong altogether. My first doctor chose to treat the pain and not the cause and I became hooked on painkillers for years, while he did nothing to find an actual cause or cure for the pain. it's hard to find a doctor today, especially one who actually gives a shit. Glad you found some relief my friend!
@@Lovegun. Thanks. Hope you are doing well. And yes, good doctors are hard to find. One example, if I may: when you are doing your yearly check-up with an EKG and the doctor finds nothing. Fire him at the spot. With the EKG you only check the front of the heart. Not all the other sides. Dick Butkus, yes, the one and only, took after his career every year an EKG until he became a heart attack. Search the net for it and read his story. And you will find that there is only one method to check your heart completly.
@@stanlibuda5786 oh damn. That's something I will look into for sure thank you. Ive only had one EKG before, and although they said my heart was fine, the rhythm was TOO steady and solid. I had no idea what that meant and it wasn't explained to me when I asked. I've had many experiences in Dr offices where medically they obviously had degrees etc,, but common sense and logically, they were atrocious.
I’m a T2 paraplegic and I have scoliosis in my upper back. I’ve had upper back pain all my life and have seen many specialists over the years. I learned more about how to relieve back pain in this video than anywhere else. Thanks.
same here. I feel you.
😂
I'm suffering for years now for some back shoulder and arm pain that keeps coming back. I ask God to give me guidance and discipline and healing.🙏🙏🙏
Then I saw your videos @Dr. Rowe 😃😃😃 I know this is God's way to cure me and use you as an instrument to help me relieve these pains. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Doc in advance.
😃😃😃
God Bless you more as you blessed others by teaching and guiding us to heal ourselves naturally. 🙏🙏🙏
Well thank you, and really glad you found the channel. Keep at the exercises!
I can't thank you enough. 1st for relieving my pain and 2nd for saving me so much time and money. I want to let anyone who is looking and curious if this works it indeed does and he deserves our support. Thank you again
Dude i swear he is reading my mind with these videos like how does the RUclips algorithm know I’m In pain.
Hope these exercises help!
These stretches provide "instant" relief. I was skeptical when the video began but the combined exercises are excellent!!!
Glad you're getting instant relief!
Me too! I was skeptical but nothing to lose so I gave it a hit .. it was magical
Doc dropping when i needed him most
Hope it gives you a lot of relief!
Suffering terribly specifically from trapezius pain this morning and my phone gives me a notification for this video! 🤔
Me too 😮 Hope your pain goes away
Right on time, hope the exercises help and please give us an update soon.
me 3
But how does the phone know…?? 😂
Good question 😄 I did not say anything to the phone or search for ways to relieve the pain 🤔. I will definitely try it and come back with a update 😁😉
You are seriously a saint! You've helped when i had tendinitis in my big toe, you've helped with my TMJ, and now you're helping me with a pulled trapezius muscle!! Much hugs to you 🫂
Thanks so much for watching!
10 years of pain and I finally understand the problem. Thank you.
I woke up with a painful neck, but you saved my day once again sir.
Glad to hear that!
My sports medicine doctor said to have one of the athletic trainers “unlock” my traps. I haven’t been able to do that, so I was looking for ways to do it myself. I stumbled across this video, and I’m so happy I did. When doing the first exercise, my traps immediately relaxed! Thank you for making this video!
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
I've had trap pain for many years and am completing a 6 week PT regimen next week. But you always present the most useful and best therapy, stretch and feel good routines at the right time. You are so appreciated Dr Rowe.
Thanks again for watching!
Did the PT help?
Your videos have helped me tremendously through the years, I thank you Sir!
Glad to hear that, and thank you so much for supporting us. I appreciate it! - Dr. Rowe -
As a massage therapist, this is great to incorporate for clients who are looking to stretch at home. Thank you!!
Thank you from bottom of my heart. Your videos for Trapezius and Rhomboid relief are life changing for me…you have a new subscriber. THANK YOU
Glad the exercises are helping you, and thanks for the sub!
Life changing for me -- without my chiropractor 2 years now, and I am a former gymnast, comp. cheerleader and ballerina --- all of my chest, neck sides, back of neck, shoulderblade muscles cervical area/back of spine/oculus points, and up to my crown has been unbearable with increasing frequency of Migraine w/ Aura sick days --- this is going to be a daily one for me!
Hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!
Nice exercises for neck hernia and neck straightening. Thank you Dr. Row.
Thanks for watching!
8 months with shoulder pain when raising or lifting. Severe pain when I touched near the cervical spine when in certain positions. I think this developed by phone and computer job use. The very first upper trap release... instant relief and change. You have no idea how grateful I am :) Thank you!
I can’t thank you enough for this video , as a college student who works at a warehouse part one doing heavy lifting .Th
is video made me not have pain for the first time in a year ❤.
That’s wonderful!
I always feel like he makes these videos just for me. So helpful!
Thanks again for watching!
I’ve been doing your neck pain video every day for about 6 days now, neck pain has been completely gone but still had some trap tightness so I did this video. Traps are completely loose now. Amazing. Thank you so so much!
Great to hear!
I tried this last night. In combo with your other exercises, my back pain has been reduced to almost zero.
That’s great!
Thank you Dr Rowe!! I don’t often comment on videos but I just had to for this! I woke up with an unbelievably stiff and sore neck/ right shoulder on vacation and have been in so much pain all day barely able to move my head, and wow this helped! I thank you so much!! It gave me some relief to pain & movement back to my neck and I hope for it to be fully 100% better tomorrow. Thank you again! ☺️☺️
Glad you're getting relief!
Omg this is better than my $25 (30 minutes) visits to the physical therapist. I was involved in an ATV accident in may 2022 and I have neck and back pain.These stretches are pain relief. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!
Thank you, Dr. Rowe for your help. It's nice to know I can simply open the browser in the comfort of my home and help myself with those exercises you share on almost daily basis. This means a lot to all of us. You rule!
Hope the exercises continue to help you for a long time to come!
Being a truck driver this exercises should be very helpful Thanks Dr
Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks! Please consider having a version where the viewer can follow along as you do the full exercises - 1-2 reps, both sides - like the HIIT, yoga and other exercise videos. I know I'd watch & do videos for traps & SI joint pretty much every day.
Hit pause
Been dealing with pains for years and these videos help so much thank you sir
Glad the exercises are helping you!
This video was very helpful, I had thyroid and lymph nodes cancer and they removed it all afterwards I lost a lot of movement in my left arm it’s been like this for years. So some of the exercises I can’t do because I can’t hold my arm up or lift it pass shoulder height and I can’t cross it over my head at all the one muscle that comes down behind your ear to the back of my shoulder is so tight you can see it pulling like I’m constantly flexing. If you stand in front of me you can see my left side sagging down.
Doc, this was IT!! Thank you so much. I've been trying to find ways to stretch and streghten my upper back for two months now. This hit the spot EXACTLY! Saving this video.
Hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!
Selamat
Dr. Rowe you are pure example of AWESOMENESS!!!
For last 3 years I am dealing with pain I didn't understand, massage, chiropractor helps for one day, but until I started following your videos I see a big change/improvement that lasts.
❤️❤️ So thank you thank you for your greatness.🙏
Now I will always carry you with me wherever I go 😅😅
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for this. My trapezius pain was awful and only started to improve when I did exercises following this video.
Glad you're getting relief!
Thanks Dr Rowe.
Great tips. Great stretches too.
This was one of the most helpful videos I have ever found on RUclips. I’ve suffered from migraines for years, my neck and trapezius muscles always get extremely tight on the right side of my body. I could never find a decent set of exercises and stretches to help with the pain. Today I watched your video, and from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU! The amount of relief these exercises and stretches brought me is hard to describe. Again, thank you.
Glad you found the video, and thanks for watching!
Pretty good. All steps are nicely explained. Thanks a lot🙏
Your shoulder exercises been tremendous help with trap/shoulder pain.
Thank You 💪🏿
I came to work with the pain from my neck to my left shoulder blade, couldn't tilt my head to the left at all.
Just after the first part, now I can at least move.
big big THANKS!

OMG! these are so good. I've been feeling trapezius pain for so long due to long hours spent working on the computer. i need to go on for another few hours which felt impossible but these exercises really released a good amount of tension from my neck and upper back. Thanks a ton for sharing this.

Great stuff
I've been exercising since 6 years. Last year, I've been focusing more on calisthenics and got a little carried away while doing one handed pull-ups. I suddenly heard a pop and the pain was unbearable. Doctors told me I need to be away from exercising for atleast 6 months. After six months, the pain was totally gone. But when I decided to go into exercing again, I couldn't even give one push-up. I've been to many doctors, had many therapies, but the pain would only go away once I take Nonsteroidal pain killers. In this one year, it was hard for me to lose my physique that I built for over 5 years. Currently my workout routine is on and off, which isn't helping my physique. I can't express how much relieved I am by doing these pain relief exercises. The pain is just gone in one session. I can't imagine how better it will be after a couple more days of doing these stretches and exercises. A big THANK YOU!
Glad the exercises are helping you and thanks for watching!
dude your techniques works like charm...using your techniques i have fixed my rhomboid and upper trap pain !!
I truly feel very blessed and grateful for your videos and that I was lucky enough to stumble onto them. Thank you so much they have really helped me ❤. I have read in the comments of people being in pain for years and years not being able to find any solutions. I have found you after a year or so. Thank you God and thank you Dr Rowe 🙏🙏🙏
