Strength training exercises using dumbbells can reduce pain and improve function in the trapezius muscle, the large muscle which extends from the back of the head, down the neck and into the upper back. The exercises also improve the muscle's ability to respond quickly and forcefully among women suffering trapezius myalgia, a tenderness and tightness in the upper trapezius muscle. The results are the latest findings from an ongoing Danish study aimed at reducing repetitive strain injury caused by office work. http://www.physorg.com/news177763029.html Medicine & Health Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:50:04 EST news177763029 Supervised exercises are more effective than shockwave treatment to relieve chronic shoulder pain, finds a study published in British Medical Journal today. http://www.physorg.com/news172299903.html Medicine & Health Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:05:58 EST news172299903 Replacing a joint in any part of the body often leads to a long recovery process and the possibility of not being able to return to a sport or activity.
