Roll Ball Trapezius Lower
The wall ball roll set lower, beside the spine under the shoulder blade, where the lower trapezius runs up toward the blade.
How to do it
Setup
Back to a wall, feet a step out, a massage ball between the wall and the back, beside the spine just below one shoulder blade.
Steps
- Lean back to pin the ball, arms relaxed at the sides.
- Bend the knees a little to roll the ball up to the blade's lower edge and back down.
- Pause on a tender spot and breathe until it eases, then switch sides.
Common mistakes
Ball drifting up between the blades: that is the rhomboid roll; keep it below the blade. Ball on the spine: stay on the muscle beside it. Arching the lower back to press harder: lean from the ankles and keep the ribs down.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
