The levator scap sits at the back and side of the neck. It helps elevate or lift the scapula (shoulder blade). When we have a lot of tension, sit at a computer for a long time, or drive for a long time, we tend to irritate this muscle. It can not only cause shoulder and neck pain, but it can also cause tension headaches.
