Top of the Shoulder Massage: The opposite hand is used. Place the heel of the hand above the collarbone so that the fingers can extend well down the back. Start at the outer edge of the shoulder and work in toward the neck, reaching down past the upper edge of the shoulder blade and digging in the fingertips as if to roll the muscle tissue up toward the shoulder line. Work across the back until you feel the spine, then switch to the other hand and do the other side. As above, use about five or six deep squeezes to a side, then change, and repeat two or three times.
