Props used: APHA Balls
Run Time: 4:30
Warm up the neck for active work or to relax into your pillow. Place an ALPHA Ball behind the back of the skull, and actively shear along the scruff of the neck to massage away tension from the ridge of the skull, including the soft tissue of the upper traps, SCM, and splenius capitis.
Neck Scruff Shear encourages added cervical rotation and alleviates tension in the head and neck by tractioning the skull and spine as well as its adjacent soft scruff.
