Pain Posture Performance

in what position do you normally treat upper trap trigger points?

Prone
Supine
Side-lying
Seated…..

The trapezius contains five clinically significant trigger point regions distributed throughout its upper, middle, and lower fibers.

Upper trapezius points commonly refer pain into the posterolateral neck, mastoid region, temple, and jaw, often mimicking tension-type headaches. Mid-fiber trigger points may generate deep aching across the acromion, suprascapular area, and medial scapular border, while lower trapezius involvement can refer discomfort into the interscapular and thoracic paraspinal regions

Recognition of all five referral sites is critical in accurately addressing persistent cervical, shoulder, and scapular pain of myofascial origin.
