Look at the pictures and you will see how clever the shape of the trapezius is. It’s diamond shaped for a reason. It bring together the spine, shoulder girdle and cranium. That’s a smart and daring design which holds these relationships in biotensegrity. The shoulders are a major juggling act that need support ~ shoulder blades that float in muscle, shoulder joints that are spectacularly flexible and a whole upper limb configuration that hinges literally off the small sternoclavicular joint. You can see why the body needs the trapezius. And needs one that is functional.
