Let's get straight to the point here.
Stretching alone is unlikely to cure your upper back muscle tightness.
It can certainly help make you feel looser in the short term, but it's highly likely you'll never get to the stage where you feel you don't need to do them anymore.
The reason for this isn't complicated, it just requires a small dose of perspective to see things more clearly.
Traditional stretching helps, but it doesn't address why your upper back muscles have become tight in the first place.
And this is where the rubber meets the road. If we can pair up effective upper back muscle stretches with exercises that address these underlying issues, then we can finally have a conversation about getting rid of those symptoms long-term.
In this video, I dive into the deeper cause of a tight upper back as well as offer up some effective ways of instantly releasing tight upper back muscles.
Let me know how you went!
