All that you Need to Know about Trapezitis
Trapezius muscle is a large diamond shape muscle that moves
scapula and supports the arms and the neck. Pain and inflammation caused in
this muscle is defined as Trapezitis. It leads to inflammation in neck and/ or
spasm and pain.
A healthy Trapezius muscle plays a vital role in lifting the
head and making shoulder movements. So when the same seems to be troublesome,
it can be considered as a symptoms of Trapezius. Other symptoms include pain
post long working or driving hours, pain in the forearm and/ or base of the
skull and tightness in the neck muscles.
Causes of Trapezius pain
- Long working
hours
Those who are involved in
desk jobs that too of long hours, usually complain about stiff or painful neck. It is
because the Trapezius muscle feels excessive pressure. It could be because of
sitting for long and as well as due to less neck movements. On the contrary,
poor postures worsen the situation.
2. Carrying heavy weight
If you travel frequently
or carry heavy weight on a regular basis then chances of your Trapezius muscle
being irritated are high. Apart from that, if you light heavy weight without
observing proper posture then you may hurt the muscle and become a victim of
upper Trapezius pain. So if you are to lift weight, give timely breaks to your
muscle or shift the sides time and again to avoid pain.
I fully agree with you about the reasons of Trapeziums. It's really nice article about Trapezitis. I have also experience these two types of neck pain during work.
