Dr. Lin Yunfei
For trapezius muscle contusions in daily life, patients should avoid prolonged periods of looking down; they should lift their neck and rotate it every 30 minutes to prevent muscle injury. After a trapezius muscle tear, patients should pay attention to changes in lifestyle and work posture. If patients habitually use their left arm, switching to the right arm may help the trapezius muscle recover symmetrically.
