Do you suffer from a tight upper back or pain at the base of your neck?

I did after a Boxing Injury.

Here is how I got rid of it with 7 Exercises.

Bookmark for further use.📚

After I had a more or less severe trauma to my neck from a jab or a hook or whatever I didn't see coming, I suffered from a constant tightness in my upper back, pain in my neck and even tension headaches.

Here I share the exercises that helped me get rid of it.

What I also did was:

- Proper Hydration Protocol
- Started sleeping without a pillow
- Sitting in silence for 10-20 minutes daily

Myo Fascial Release: General Information

First, I built a MFR Routine for myself.

Releasing the:
- Rhomboid
- Trapecius
- Suboccipital Area (Headache Relief)

Use a Tennis or Lacrosse Ball.

Stay on the tight and painful spots for 3-5 minutes.

Don't roll --> Stay.

Pain shouldn't go above 5-6 on a scale of 10.

Don't hold your breath, hydrate properly afterwards.

Always do both sides.

Can be done daily.

This is a core-burner and a no-nonsense structure builder.

Lie down on the floor.

Arms overhead and locked in the elbows.

Hands press into a wall as hard as possible.

body.

Press the legs together.

Straighten the feet.

Squeeze your butt.

Suck the abs in.

from the wall.

Nothing but your toes touch the wall.

Feel like your brain’s in a haze or your body just won’t move freely?

It could be your lymphatic system hitting the brakes!

Discover how to unlock simple ways to get your lymph flowing smoothly again. 🧵

What is it and how does it work?

The lymphatic system is your body’s drainage system.

Lymph fluid picks up waste from tissues.

As it flows through lymphatic vessels, it passes through lymph nodes, where immune cells filter out and destroy much of the harmful material, such as bacteria or dead cells.

But what happens next is most important!

The cleaned lymph is then drained back into the circulatory system, primarily through the thoracic duct.

It reintegrates the fluid and any remaining soluble wastes into the blood.

The lymphatic system doesn’t have its own pump.

It relies on other factors to stay functional.

Read about them below.
