Dr. Lin Yunfei
After an injury to the trapezius muscle, recovery is generally achieved through methods such as ice application and topical plasters. When sleeping, patients should avoid using a pillow that is too high; instead, the pillow should be placed under the back of the head to keep the neck and back muscles fully relaxed. When standing, patients should place their hands on their waist or in their coat pockets, which helps keep the trapezius muscle in a relaxed state.
