Will i have to have surgery if my middle trapezius keeps hurting?
The middle trapezius will hurt if the muscle has been pulled or strained. The way to properly heal it is to try massaging the part of the trapezius that hurts the most, in order to work out the kinks. If that doesn't help after a few months, then physical therapy is needed.
What muscle is used when shrugging your shoulders?
A number of muscles are involved in shrugging your shoulders, including the latissiumus dorsi, the deltoids, the rhomboids, the scapular muscles, the biceps, the triceps, among others. The primary muscle is the upper trapezius muscle. The secondary muscles are the middle trapezius muscles and the levator scapulae.
What muscle moves the scapula forward and rotates scapula upward?
You can't have one muscle that both elevates AND depresses a bone. So your question is a little confusing, Upward rotation: Serratus anterior, Upper and lower fibers of trapezius Retraction (adduction): Middle fibers of trapezius, rhomboid major and minor Elevation: Upper fibers of trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboid major and minor Depression: Lower fibers of trapezius Let me know if I left any out but this should be all of them! Trevor .............................. the above answer is incomplete........ The trapezius is antagonist to itself, in that it can both elevate and depress the scapula
What muscle is located in the upper part of your back in the middle?
The muscle located in the upper part of your back in the middle is called the trapezius muscle. It is a large, triangular muscle that extends from the base of your skull down to the middle of your spine and across to your shoulders. Its primary function is to move and stabilize the shoulder blades.
What muscles do you use to pull back a bow?
Posterior Deltoid Middle Trapezius Rhomboids Latissimus Dorsi Look them up!
Which muscle pulls the shoulder backward and downward?
trapezius
What are the antagonists of the shoulder girdle at Upward rotation?
The Trapezius muscles are involved in upward rotation of the scapula. However Trapezius is agonist/antagonist to itself as the upper portion elevates the scapula, the middle portion adducts the scapula and the lower portion depresses the scapula, while all parts are involved in upward rotation of the scapula. The Serratus Anterior assists in rotating the scapula (glenoid fossa) upward, (which would make it a synergist with the trapezius). The Serratus Anterior is antagonist to the upper and middle portions of Trapezius, so we are back to the agonist /antagonist relationship of the traps. That's about all I can contribute to this question.
Where are the trapezius and the deltoids?
The trapezius is an upper back/neck muscle and the deltoids are shoulder muscles
How can you stretch the trapezius muscle?
