Tight lumpy traps

G'day,

what does the gymnastics world do about tight knotty upper traps? Mine get quite sore a very lumpy, which ends up giving me upper back and neck joint issues.

any tips would be awesome.

HI Sam, specific exercise for the upper back can be done. Coach Sommer created the Thoracic Bridge series wich has many exercises for relaxing the traps, I'm including some of them in my daily routine and they work pretty well.
