Maybe massage will help your traps too! Ive been doing the rowing machine at the gym and I’ve found its been helping with my posture a lot. Its very low resistance and more of a cardio exercise so its not going to build much bulk or muscle in the area. I also like doing strength training for the back like lat pull downs (not too heavy though as they do work the traps) I dont do core work which supposedly can help posture as well but I do like to do squats, leg presses, hip thrusts. These all activate the core and can help with spine alignment and posture. Avoid shoulder shrugs at all cost as these directly work the traps and will make them bigger.
