If your shoulders look broad, your neck looks short, and you look bulky in photos, it could be due to your trapezius muscles. I've been concerned about my bulging trapezius muscles, so I've been searching for ways to get rid of them, stretch them, and more, to figure out how to manage them.

Today, I'll explain the causes of trapezius muscle development, how to get rid of trapezius muscle at home, stretching, and even treatments that can help get rid of trapezius muscle!

1. Causes of trapezius muscle development

The levator scapulae is the main muscle connecting the neck and shoulder. It can easily become tight and painful for a variety of reasons. The reasons for this muscle's development are as follows:

 

1) Incorrect posture

Many people use their smartphones with a hunched posture. Using a smartphone in this awkward posture for extended periods of time can cause excessive tension in the muscles in the shoulders and other areas, leading to development of the trapezius muscle.

 

2) Specific postural habits

Additionally, if you frequently raise your arms overhead or shrug your shoulders, your trapezius muscles may appear larger.

 

3) Exercising with incorrect posture

They say that even if you exercise with poor posture, your trapezius muscles can easily develop. When doing upper body strength training, your trapezius muscles are used, but if you exercise incorrectly while applying too much force to your trapezius muscles, they can develop.

2. How to get rid of the trapezius muscle at home

When the levator scapulae muscles become tight, the neck appears thick and short, and it can also cause shoulder pain or headaches, so it is important to make an effort to manage the levator scapulae muscles at home.

 

1) Practice good posture

One way to eliminate levator scapulae at home is to first maintain good posture. When working or studying, sit with your buttocks deep in your chair and your back straight.

 

2) Trapezius Stretching

Regular stretching is recommended as a way to relieve tension in the trapezius muscle. Stretching the upper trapezius muscle or pulling a towel behind the head can help loosen tight trapezius muscles. Since hunched shoulders and back can increase tension in the trapezius muscle, it's recommended to do stretches that open it.

3. How to stretch the levator scapulae

I will explain in detail the trapezius muscle stretching method described above.

 

1) Sit up straight with your back straight and raise your crown of the head upwards.

2) Lift one shoulder and tilt your neck in the opposite direction.

3) Gently press down on your head with the hand on the side your neck is tilted to.

4) Stretch the arm opposite the head tilted down and lower the raised shoulder while breathing.

5) Hold the pose for about 15 seconds and repeat the same on the other side.

4. Trapezius scapulae removal procedure

If you're concerned about overdeveloped levator scapulae, you can achieve some improvement through treatment. Let me tell you about treatments for levator scapulae management and removal!

 

- Body botox

If your trapezius muscle makes your neck look short and you're concerned about your shoulder line, you may want to consider body botox. Trapezius botox works by injecting botox into the muscles surrounding the trapezius muscle, inhibiting neurotransmitter release and reducing muscle mass. This contraction of the muscle can help smooth out the neck and shoulder line.

The Maypure Body Botox event price is said to be 95,000 won per 100U.

5. Q&A

1) How long does the effect of levator scapulae botox last?

: In the case of levator scapulae botox, the effects appear within 4 weeks after the procedure and last for an average of 3 to 4 months.

 

2) Why does the pain in the levator scapulae muscle get worse?
: This can be caused by poor posture, lifestyle habits, or accumulated fatigue. Long-term use of smartphones and computers can cause stiff shoulders, which can easily cause the trapezius muscle to become tense and stiff, leading to pain.
