Trapezius is the muscle in the back has the effect of simultaneously elevating and retracting the scapula(bone in the upper back). The Trapezius is used most commonly to fix the scapula(bone in the upper back) to allow the Deltoid(muscle in the tarm) to move the Humerus.

Origin: Occipital protuberance (base of skull) & Ligaments cervical spine & Spinous processes of C7-T12  of vertebra.

Insertion: Posterior outer 1/3 of the clavicle, Acromion process &Spine of the scapula

Actions

With rest you will heal in couple of weeks. Take care!
