Bulky Shoulders & Traps

Prominent trapezius muscles that bulk the shoulder line and shorten the look of the neck.

What it is

Bulky shoulders, where the trapezius muscles stand prominent and high, can shorten the apparent length of the neck and broaden the line of the shoulders. The bulk owes to a strong or overactive trapezius, built by posture, training, stress, or simply natural form.

A relaxer placed into the trapezius eases its strength, and over the months the muscle softens, lengthening the line of the neck and shoulder. It is also used to relieve the tension these muscles often carry.

Why Patients Seek Treatment

Treatment suits the patient with a strong, prominent trapezius who would welcome a longer-looking neck and shoulder line, or relief from the tension held there, and who understands the change builds gradually over sessions.

UNderstanding the science

What causes it

The trapezius is the large muscle running from the neck across the shoulder, and it builds with use, with carrying and posture, with certain training, and with the habit of holding tension there. A strong or overactive trapezius sits high and full, broadening the shoulder line and visually shortening the neck.

Common Signs

You may notice:

  • Shoulders that read high, broad, or heavily muscled
  • A neck that looks shorter than you would like
  • Tension or knots held across the top of the shoulders

Why it changes over time

Trapezius bulk builds with years of posture, training, and held tension, and softens with treatment over a course of sessions as the muscle, eased, reduces. The relief from tension is often felt sooner than the change in line. Left untreated, ongoing use keeps the muscle strong.

Sarah is so naturally kind and knows her profession very good. She keeps you so calm by asking how you are doing and having good conversation with you while doing procedures. I absolutely love her sweet personality. I had laser done on my legs from years of sun damage and it went so smooth. Thanks Sarah! The whole team is so professional and nice.
