What Is the Trapezius Muscle?
The trapezius is a large muscle extending from the back of the head and neck to the shoulders and upper back. It helps support posture, shoulder movement, and neck stability.
When this muscle becomes tight or overloaded, it can develop trigger points and cause pain in areas away from the muscle itself.
