How can i stop my trapezius muscles from seizing up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stretch and strength: You should work on shoulder retraction(pulling shoulders back) which can help. If you sit alot, put a small pillow in your low back which will pull your shoulders back also. Also do pulling exercises strenthening your upper back, massage and heat and ice.
