Abstract
Context: Work-related neck pain is a common problem in office workers, especially among those who are intensive computer users with long-duration sitting job. Neck pain is thought to be complex. It is most commonly caused by putting an excessive amount of stress or strain over the trapezius muscle. The upper trapezius muscle is designated as postural muscle and it is susceptible to overuse. Trapezitis is an inflammatory pain arising from the trapezius muscle causing a severe neck spasm. Myofascial trigger points (MTrP) are defined as hyperirritable spots within taut bands of skeletal muscle fibers. The syndrome is associated with tenderness in the muscle, characteristic referred pain, spasm and restriction in motion. Physiotherapy techniques like Myofascial release technique and Strain counterstrain technique to treat trapezitis.
