Trapezius muscle trigger points.









The next time you feel a painful “knot” in your muscle tissue take a moment to reflect on just how complicated a process it was for it to get there.


If this looks familiar to you, then you probably have trigger points. The muscles in your back and neck become strained and overloaded and the muscles in the front become shortened and contracted. When this happens trigger points can develop. These points will cause pain, refered pain, stiffness and weakness. Trigger points in the neck muscles can refer pain into the head and cause headaches.
