The left and right trapezius viewed as a whole create a trapezium in shape, thus giving this muscle its name.
As the trapezius is an important neck muscle, any spastic activity in the sternocleidomastoid, suboccipitals, scalenes, longus colli, levator scapulae, or many other muscles will have an effect on its status.
Many people hold emotional tension in the upper trapezius.
The upper portion decelerates the head, the middle portion decelerates protraction, and the lower portion decelerates shoulder elevation.
Myofascial trigger points here lead to tension headaches, with sharp pain felt in the temporal bone and into the masseter, behind the eye and ear (on the same side), and along the side of the neck.
Occasionally, pain will travel to the back of the head, and a burning pain will be experienced down into the vertebral side of the scapula and middle back.
Trapezius myofascial trigger points can cause loss of balance and dizziness.
Myofascial trigger points in this muscle are often mistaken for disc pathologies, neuralgia, spinal stenosis, shoulder bursitis, or arthritis.
