Скачать или смотреть 4 Trapezius Muscle Pain Exercises (Trapezius Myalgia)

Today's video discusses trapezius muscle pain or trapezius myalgia, which is a common cause of neck and shoulder pain. Trapezius myalgia is commonly associated with static postural positions of the neck and shoulder complex and is frequently reported in individuals who work at computers, on their phones or those who have long commutes.

The studies cited below implemented a very simple resistance exercise program (last two exercises in today's video) and documented substantial reductions in pain and improvements in function.

Remember, specific postural positions are not correlated well with the development of pain. However, a lack of movement (static positioning) does seem to be associated with the initiation of uncomfortable symptoms. The improvements reported with these exercises are likely further evidence that simply MOVING plays a major role in the modulation of ongoing pain and in the reduction of pain recurrence.
