A tight trapezius muscle can lead to a bulky neck. This muscle, when tense, can create unsightly bulges on the sides of your neck. TrapTox offers a solution by relaxing these muscles, smoothing out the neck, and improving posture. By reducing muscle tension and growth, TrapTox can help create a slimmer, more defined neck. It's a safe and effective option for those seeking a more sculpted appearance or relief from neck pain.
