So I have recurring issues with my left trapezius. It gets really tight and painful every once in a while, to the point that it will freeze up and I won't be able to move or lift my left arm without pain. I know it's my trapezius because after my husband works on it for a bit, it will loosen and relax. My husband taught himself some massage techniques out of various books from the library. Are there any techniques you would recommend for a novice such as my husband to use on my trapezius? I also try stretching it, and stretching the rest of my back and legs so that nothing is pulling on it to make it tense. If there are any stretches you know of that might help, please share those too.
