GOOD MORNING MY FAVORITE PEOPLE!!
I’m doing this video specifically for my friend Tracey! 💕
These are exercises, massages to help with lymphatic draining, posture, and neck stiffness!
I try to do these first thing in the morning!
Here are the exercises
If you experience any discomfort during either exercise go a little easier or skip that exercise:)
DO NOT FORGET TO BREATHE AS WELL ❤️

1. Arms in the doorway 🚪
In this exercise we are squeezing everything between the shoulder blades which brings our shoulders back to their natural place!
Stand in any doorway!
We concentrate all our attention on the shoulder blades
After clamping the stretching is a must! I didn’t do it in the video but give urself a BG HUG afterwords!
Do for 30 seconds! or until you experience discomfort.

2. Squaring the shoulders 🟥
This exercise will also help with posture and circulation in the neck head and shoulders.
We put our hand behind the neck as far as possible
We take the elbow with our second hand and make a twisting movement up, pressing at the same time, the movement from the bottom up and behind the head, then we press on the hand
Hold for 30 seconds! or until you experience discomfort.
Then slowly return through the top, as if returning the joint to its rightful place

3. Squeezing the shoulders 🍋
This is going to active our upper back muscles and also help them to relax afterwords
Keep hands behind your back,Shoulder blades are together, best you can
We raise our shoulders a bit and lower our head backwards
We press the back of the head against the top of shoulder
clamp for 30 seconds or until you experience discomfort.

4. Side neck clamp 🗜
This bad boy is really gonna help release any tension in the side of the neck and shoulders as well as lengthen the neck visually!
Pull up the shoulder to yourself and focus on the folds gathered on the side of the neck
For convenience, put your hand on the body side (on the waist)
create resistance, the ear presses on the shoulder, and the shoulder presses on the ear
hold it for 30 seconds, then gently get out of position!
Be sure afterwords to stretch and massage the side of the neck!

5. The back neck clamp! 🗜
This is the same as the side neck clamp except this time we pull our shoulders BACK and up, then press the back of the head down on the shoulder.
Hold for 30 seconds or until u feel discomfort:)

6. Frame Work 🖼
This helps so much with circulation and bringing 🩸 and lymph to the neck and upper body!
Without pressing your hands to the ears, raise them and tie them together above the head
Stretch up, try to raise ourselves as high as possible along with the shoulders
Lower the jaw to the collarbones
We focus on the front of the neck; we clamp it between the jaw and collarbones
Hold the clamp for 30 seconds
stretch the muscles for 5 seconds after the exercise, but only the lateral ones, remember where the thyroid is!!


7.Pinching the skin! + relaxing the jaw muscle 💪
This is a very simple exercise that stimulates 🩸 and lymph in that area.
Always listen to your body, not too hard!
Do this till you feel like any stagnation has dispersed
For the jaw exercise we place on finger on our chin while our other hand slides from our chin to our ear. Do this 3 to 5 times!


8. Fingers in the collarbones 🦴
This exercise SUCKS but I feel so much better afterwords
We place all of our fingertips into the space right above our collarbones,
wiggle the fingers and massage them into the muscle above the bone.
If this is already a challenge, just do that!
If you want more resistance then try slowly moving your head in circles while also holding the collarbone :)

I hope you found some of these helpful!!
I love you Tracey!
Always listen to your body and don’t go beyond your discomfort!
Much love!
Mckay 🦋
