Knots in traps

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and just have been having problems with my traps and muscle knots. I stretch and drink tons of water anyone have any tips on other stretches to help. Or any info would be appreciated.

I've had them for years. Hold a lot of tension there. Get a pro massage or get your gf to do it. Rough. Lol

Its like ecstasy when my wife rubs out my traps lol, it sounds hippy but I believe people hold stress in certain bodyparts. Traps are mine because when ever i'm stressed they tend to get more knotted and tight.

I had the same thing and it turned out to be a bulging disc on my neck.. be safe and get it checked out.. ive been doing physical therapy and its going away, but it sucks.. could be bad postier too.. but normal people who dont lift find it hard to understand whats up

I found that using a moderate weight for shrugs and really stretching the bottom position has gotten rid if the knots in my traps. I no longer load up the bar when doing shrugs.
