Myalgia is generally known as a muscle ache or muscle pain.
Trapezius myalgia (TM) is the complaint of pain, stiffness, and tightness of the upper trapezius muscle. It is characterised by acute or persistent neck-shoulder pain.
Monotonous jobs with highly repetitive work, forceful exertions, high level of static contractions, prolonged static loads, constrained work postures or a combination of these factors are possible causes of neck and shoulder disorders (which include TM) in the working population.
As recent research suggests with most musculoskeletal conditions there is a strong relationship between psychosocial factors and the occurrence of TM

Raising awareness for at risk groups of people:
Different forms of exercise is recommended for acute or persistent neck pain
Physical activity and exercise have been proven to give the most immediate and long-term pain relief in patients with TM]. Both general fitness training and specific strength training generate significant effects on decreasing pain. However; strength training has been proven to be more effective compared to general fitness training.
High-intensity strength training relying on principles of progressive overload for 20 minutes has been shown to be successful in reductions of neck and shoulder pain.
Following a specific neck strengthening exercise program for up to 1 year can lead to long term reduction and further prevention of recurring pain even after the strength program has ceased.
Ischaemic compression, stretching of the upper trapezius muscle, and transverse friction massage are manual techniques to help patients with TM. These techniques appear to have instant improvement on pain.
