Self massage for the shoulder raised up. Definitely one of my favorites. Probably more, probably more one of my more favorite exercises, because it's such a cheap effective way of working with muscle tension. So here you really need two tennis balls. Some people use a lacrosse ball or a golf ball, they prefer starting off softer as far as that is concerned. So to use tennis balls is ideal.

Again, if you feel any particular discomfort then just to ease off or stop altogether, but again, you're not going for the spine itself. It's next to it. You're not trying to destroy attention.
