Thanks so much for these exercises!! How many reps daily and how many days per week would you recommend?

Why are you doing shrugs, when shrugs activate the upper traps, which we don’t want for an overactive trap

Great article! However, I think on #5 Rotational Stretches when you wrote, “Rotate the head down and look at the right hip. The stretch should be felt on the left side of the neck/shoulder area.”

I think you need to look at the LEFT hip. The Upper Trapezius is a contralateral rotator, so a “perfect stretch” would involve looking at the same side.
