How to Permanently Loosen Tight Scalenes

[@YourWellnessNerd]

You’ve got to get to that root cause! How did you go?

[@blackrhino44]

Sleeping on my front with my head rotated to one side is what does it for me. Headache for days. Thanks for the tips. You can also use a yoga block to put the ball onto when trying to get into the upper neck. 👍🏻

You popped up on my feed last night. Why has it taken so long! Finding a suitable ball out the kids bedroom I Immediately got to work. Instant relief even my constant left shoulder pain disappeared. I know its going to be a long road to eradicate this but at least I now have the tools. Yes I do all those bad posture things. Love my recliner but will definitely try and sit up more. Oh the calf muscle video was also useful seems the cause was lower back tightness. Many thanks for this content it really is a relief to get this great advice.

My problem (for years) has been my hips and SI joint. I followed along with your Scalene release stretches this morning. I was VERY pleased and surprised how that improved my hips! Thank you! 💖😇💖

Hi, first thank you, this has been the bane of my life for years now and I'm going to start working on these techniques today! Secondly I think that my pillow might be one of the main causes. Is there a pillow that you could recommend for a good sleeping posture?

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Hope the tips help! This is the pillow I use currently and one to consider! Bluedott Ultra Button Pillow: zamathome.com/products/bluedott-ultra-button-pillow?rfsn=7811504.012aed& It is an affiliate link, and they have also given me a discount 15% off discount code: Wellness15

Question about the scalenes, has there been any evidence of them being tight enough to cut off blood flow? I have circulation issues in the hands that get better temporarily stretching them, and no signs of compression anywhere else according to MRIs.

[@utkarsh2746]

You probably have thoracic outlet syndrome. A nerve compression issue, not a blood flow issue. How did your doctor not tell you about it??

Have you got any videos on loosening a tight sternum?

Will this help arthritis in cervical neck ?I believe its my facet joints have become atrhritic as I did get an x ray, was told osteoarthritis. play lots of tennis and I used to practice my serve a lot as you have to tilt head in a tough position. After playing 5 days a week for the last 9 years, I am 61 still playing just rarely practice serve. In the past everything I have tried for neck muscles just seem to make it more sore as the facet joint seems to be the root ?

Scheuermanns and scoliosis causes my scalene tightness

[@YourWellnessNerd]

I hear you Christian. Just make sure you know what percentage is due to structural differences and what may be environmental!

Scalene stretches in a nutshell: You stretch your scalene. You feel a pulling in your neck while you stretch. Your hand tingles and goes numb during the stretch if you have nTOS like me. You end the stretch. You feel the same... You feel the same. Repeat.

[@YourWellnessNerd]

Hope you’re also getting to that underlying cause as well!

[@somebodysomewhere2114]

@@YourWellnessNerd Hm, can't find anything in my neck to unlock with a ball. Neck mobility seems generally not awful, but Im supposed to be having a cervical MRI next month ordered by my vascular surgeon just in case cause my situation is weird. My T spine is straight up locked though and no stretch or ball or mobilization touches it. Must've spilt glue on it. Kinda suspect my T spine, but I suspect my shoulders, neck and everything else too lol. Can't even rule out my toes smh.

[@diogobarbosa3455]

@@somebodysomewhere2114very good mention on how the toes might feel tight, out big toe is so important for how our hips are located, and so are the jaw placement, but for the toes you should start stretching barefoot Connect with the earth from the feet up to the head, Walk in flip flora anytime you can and be patiente and play around with the toes strech them individually daily, and this might be one of the placas ready for a tennis ball, at least i remebrr it feeling great when i started doing it to fix my tight ass feet
