Trapezius - Rhomboids mid-back muscle stretch

This video demonstrates and effective stretch for the mid-back trapezius and rhomboid muscles. Position yourself as shown in the video with one arm grasping a door frame, and walking around to stabilise the shoulder and to get an effective stretch through the mid-back. The sensation should be mild to moderate, and can be held for a minimum of 30 seconds, to a maximum of 90 seconds, allowing yourself to relax into that sensation of stretch, and feeling the release between your spine and shoulder blade. And then when finished gently come out by turning opposite direction and then unlocking the shoulders.

@rpestelle Typically when you restrict your arteries that give blood to your brain..you don't get any blood to your brain. Common sense!

Why would stretching cause you to faint? Are you saying it compresses an artery or vein?

I was looking for exercises to help the pain in my trapezius muscle. When I saw the video I went to the door to test it. As I was coming out of the "roll" I fainted, landed on the tile floor and will have a life-long facial scar because of the damage. I thought this might be a fluke but my son said he had the same experience.Please warn people that this is a possible problem!

@acidwaste00 when doin this exercise, try to raise /lower your shoulder to different angles, various angles stretch different parts of the muscles. dont make dramatic movements or you may pull something though.

@EatLibertyCaps huh??? i do try to stretch but i never feel the feeling that my back is stretching, it just feels normal, no matter how far i do this stretch.

@acidwaste00 you get flexible by continuously working/stretching your muscles, the more you work them, the more flexible you will become, you need to train your body to relax.... dont try something once or twice and call it quits. for real
