提肩胛肌是一條連接頸椎與肩胛的重要肌肉

由頸椎第一至第四橫突, 向下連接到肩胛上角

負責的動作有頸椎後仰, 同側側彎, 同側旋轉

而在肩膀的位置則負責肩胛骨的上提與下轉
Levator scapulae are the muscles that connect cervical and scapula
From C1-C4 transverse process to superior angle of scapula
The movement at the cervical are extension, same side side-bending, same side rotation
And the movement at the shoulder are elevation and downward rotation

提肩胛肌過度緊繃的時候
常見的情況有
1. 頭部旋轉, 側彎活動受限
2. 肩關節活動障礙
3. 在頸部或是肩胛上緣產生酸痛點
Some common conditions while levator scapulae are:
1. Neck side-bending and rotation limitation
2. Shoulder dysfunction
3. Tender point over the lateral neck or superior angle of scapula

靜態伸展提肩胛肌的動作是
1. 頭部向對側旋轉約45度然後往下看
2. 對側手拉住頭部
3. 同側手舉高並貼住頸椎
而伸展這條肌肉的標準模範
由勝文替你示範
The static stretch includes the following movement:
1. Neck rotates to opposite side about 45 degrees and bends down.
2. Opposite hand holds the neck
3. Same side arm raises up and holds the neck
Below is the standard static stretch of levator scapulae.

動態伸展是另一個很不錯的方式
有些時候甚至比起靜態伸展更能維持舒緩的效果
頭部的姿勢維持不變
同一側的手往上舉高, 再移動回來
利用肩胛骨旋轉的動作進行提肩胛肌的伸展
Dynamic is another good way to stretch levator scapulae.
Sometimes it's more effective than the static stretch.
The head and opposite hand position remain.
The same side arm raise all the way up and back down,
using scapula rotation to stretch this muscle.

提肩胛肌是辦公室一族非常容易緊繃的一條肌肉
使用電腦之餘記得做運動
可以大幅降低肩頸僵硬與痠痛的機會
Levator scapula is getting tight easily among office population.
Remember to do some exercise while using the computer.
That can help you decrease the chance of neck stiffness and pain.
