Understanding Trapezius Tension
The trapezius muscle runs from the base of the skull down the neck and across the shoulders. When this area becomes overactive—due to stress, poor posture, or subconscious clenching—it can cause:
- Shoulder and neck tightness
- A heavy or achy sensation in the upper back
- Tension headaches or migraines
- Difficulty relaxing or releasing muscle contraction
Some people also notice that this muscle can appear enlarged or bulky, especially when tension is held there regularly.
Our Trapezius Support treatments are designed to help soften chronic tension in the shoulders, creating a feeling of lightness and ease while supporting posture and comfort.
Clients often seek this treatment for:
- Chronic neck and shoulder tightness
- Frequent tension headaches
- Stress-related muscle strain
- Improved posture and alignment
- A softer, more relaxed neck and upper back profile
While some may enjoy a slimmer aesthetic appearance over time as the muscle relaxes, the primary goal here is relief, not reshaping.
A Personalised, Holistic Approach
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation where we’ll assess your symptoms, muscle activity, and posture. We’ll explore how trapezius tension may be affecting your daily comfort and discuss your goals—whether therapeutic, aesthetic, or both.
We focus on enhancing your overall wellbeing through a light-touch, supportive method that complements other stress-relief and wellness routines.
What to Expect After Treatment
Most clients notice a gentle release of tension over the first several days, with full effects appearing over 1–2 weeks. The shoulders may feel lighter, posture may improve, and you may experience fewer stress-related headaches or discomfort.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid intense upper body workouts for 24–48 hours
- Stay hydrated to support muscle recovery
- Gentle stretching or posture exercises can complement the treatment
- Be mindful of stress habits that contribute to shoulder tension
We’ll guide you with personalised advice based on your lifestyle and preferences.
