In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know this injury affects my trapezius, a large upper-back muscle that moves my neck, shoulder blade, and arm.
- I know it may happen from overuse, sudden force, heavy lifting, sports, or a direct blow.
- I know pain may spread across my neck, shoulder, or upper back and may worsen with movement.
- I protect the muscle by reducing painful activity while keeping safe movement as advised.
