Shoulder pain (trapezius)
The trapezius muscle is perhaps the most common source of pain in our body. This is due to the fact that the muscle performs many different functions and is often overloaded.
Overfatigue and overload open the way to disease. It has been established that pain in the trapezius muscle is caused by trigger points. According to Travell and Simons, authors of a book on myofascial syndrome, trigger points in the trapezius muscle are much more common than in other muscles [J. Travell and D. Simons "Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction." Vol. I. Page 353].
The functions of the trapezius muscle provide movement and statics of the shoulder, scapula and neck. For example, we use this muscle if we want to straighten our shoulders and straighten our neck, or when we bring our shoulder blades together and throw our head back, or when we move our shoulders up and down and forward and backward. When we walk, we swing our arms, and the muscle works dynamically, and if we sit at the computer - statically. And even when we just stand with our arms down - the muscle also works to provide an antigravity effect. By the way, it is precisely in order to relieve tension and unload the trapezius muscle that we automatically fold our arms across our chest or put them in our pockets.
