A Pain in the Neck
Working the Scalenes Upper Trapezius and Sternocleidomastoid
This is a hands on class and will include some applied anatomy of the scalenes, upper trapezius and SCM; the role these muscles play in maintaining the cervical curve; pain referral patterns; reducing nerve and vascular impingement, improvement of lymphatic drainage, muscle testing, stretching and manual techniques. These muscles when dysfunctional can mimic cervical disc problems, cause nerve or vascular impingement, neck and head pain, and contribute to poor posture, especially in the elderly.
