Shoulder/neck muscle pull.
So I think I pulled a muscle right near my spine that runs from my neck to shoulder. I haven't been to the gym since Sunday cause it's been bugging me for over a week now. It just doesn't seem to be getting better.
Any ideas? Could I have torn it?

what were you doing when the injury occurred? There are a couple options on which one it could be but the trapezius would be my guess as it runs from the base of the skull then extends laterally to the top of the shoulder then down the back to the middle of the lumbar region and is the largest of muscles of the upper back.

It's a sharp pain. It's fine for most of the day or if I don't turn my neck very far. At points during the day it will send pain into my shoulder and sometimes down my arm. It seems to be better this morning, but we'll see how the day goes.
Ibuprofen didn't do anything for it.

I bet it is just a strain or a pull, whatever you want to call it. The damage to it probably just caused it some inflammation. which is why it is irritated only in certain positions. How much ibprofen did you take?

Is there an accredidation I should look for or that anyone else looks for in a deep tissue massage therapist? I've got some pretty serious injuries from heavy lifting and now soccer etc and would really like to get some kinks worked out. I just don't want to spend a ton of money on someone who isn't "qualified" etc.

i get a similar injury to that region every couple months or so specifically when doing shrugs. initially i cant turn my head at all to one side without pain. the pain gradually (over a couple days) subsides. in my experience continuing workouts as scheduled speeds up the healing process
