What is the remedy for an over-stretched trapezius muscle?
Answer:
Let your muscles relax! Don't further strain your trapezius by doing more exercises for the time being. If the muscles are heat, use cold-compress around the area to help any inflammation there. If it's freshly a matter of muscle-aches, hot-compress will be more appropriate. It'll relieve any stiffness there by dispersing and increasing blood-circulation. Stagnation will result in tension. Best use hot towel next to 3-4 drops of pure lavender essential oil for relaxing property.
rest is the best method
I've be going to a physio-therapist for the last 5 months for my trapezius muscle injury. Heat pack, accupuncture and ultra-sound treatments. The improvement have been a slow process,but, it is on an upward curve.
I recommend homeopathic Arnica - unparalleled for muscle trauma of any kind. As you read out it has be months, I would go for a 200C potency. Take 1 tablet 3X a daytime for 5 days, two days off and if at hand is only slight amelioration, repeat, but only just 2X a day.
