Yeah, in the "up" position, the coil springs will likely be sagging.
And there may be some tension on the torsion springs. But
the door should be adjusted(here read that the springs
should be adjusted" so that you can let the door down, with
springs engaged, and it should stop at about the level of
your hip. So that if you should have to raise it without
help of the opener, your wife or whoever can do it.
So, frankly, I would suggest you consider having a garage
door tune-up done by a pro for about $75, and be ready for
the winter.

I am thinking of moving the opener motor up a little and need to
undo it, just wondering if there is much tension in the springs
that I should be aware of?

Thanks

What type of spring? The coil springs or the torsion springs that
are wound up? The coils have just about nothing on them.
