Broad Shoulders

Description

Broad shoulders, often known as "thick shoulders," "shrugged shoulders," or "bulging traps," describe a wide upper body appearance caused by prominent trapezius muscles—sometimes referred to as the "traps" or "trap muscles." This look can result from genetics, fitness routines, stress, or poor posture, leading to a more muscular and sloped shoulder line that some people find less desirable. The trapezius muscle, which spans from the neck to the mid-back and out across the shoulders, can make the neck appear shorter or give a "neckless" effect, hiding the collarbone and affecting overall body lines. Many seek a slimmer shoulder or "swan neck" look for a longer, sleeker upper body profile. For those wanting to achieve defined collarbones, a slimmer shoulder line, or reduce a bulky upper back, understanding the causes and available treatments for broad shoulders, such as Trapezius Botox (TrapTox), can help in reaching their aesthetic or comfort goals.

It consists of three functional parts: Upper (descending): Elevates the shoulders and supports the weight of the arms. Middle (transverse): Retracts the scapula. Lower (ascending): Depresses and rotates the sca
