What Are the Trapezius Muscles and How Does Pilates Strengthen Them?

When you hear the term Trapezius Muscles, you might first think of the upper back or shoulders, and you’d be right. These muscles are large, diamond-shaped muscles that sit across the upper and mid-back, playing a huge role in posture, shoulder movement, and neck stability. Whether you sit at a desk all day, play sport, or carry shopping bags, your Trapezius muscles are constantly at work. Pilates, especially when guided by experts like MD Health in Balwyn, offers safe and effective ways to build strength, flexibility, and control in these muscles for everyday life.
