Shoulder tightness or tension in the trapezius muscle can generally be improved through exercise, which helps promote local blood circulation, or relieved through massage. If symptoms are relatively severe, techniques such as tapping or foam rolling may also help. In daily life, it is important to engage in appropriate physical activity and avoid prolonged sitting, as this may exacerbate trapezius muscle tension.
