Yin & Somatics: Soothe Upper Back and Neck Tension
Show Notes

To be an adult is to sometimes struggle with upper back and neck tension and even pain. This is my professional opinion. Though this pain/tightness can really disrupt your life, it’s important not to get too tied up about it. This practice is to give you some go to tools for managing this suffering. Knowing that you have a way to feel better, is a medicine in its own right. Though you really feel the need to stretch these tissues, it won’t help. That is my professional opinion. There are better strategies to use, which I will show you here. 

If you are a person who struggles with upper back and neck tension and pain, you will find this practice invaluable. 

Props Needed: Bolster (or firm pillows), blanket and one block
