Taping For Upper Trapezius Tension. Comment “Tape” Below To Unlock Our Masterclass. Tight, achy traps? You’re not alone. Upper trapezius tension is one of the most common complaints seen in clinical practice — often linked to stress, poor posture, or muscular overuse. This muscle runs from the base of the skull down to the shoulder, helping stabilize the neck and elevate the scapula. But when it’s overloaded — from long hours at a desk, constant lifting, or emotional tension — it becomes a hotspot for tightness, headaches, and restricted mobility. In this reel, we show a taping technique designed to: ✅ Decompress irritated tissue ✅ Reduce perceived tension in the neck and shoulders ✅ Improve posture awareness ✅ Encourage relaxation without limiting movement Perfect for: – Desk workers – Athletes with shrug-dominant patterns – Clients prone to tension headaches – Anyone stuck in a forward-head posture loop A little support goes a long way in calming this overworked muscle. #kinesiotape #kinesiology #physicaltherapy #kinesiotaping #kinesio #muscletension #trapezius #physio
