I'm now using Claire Davie's trigger point book to heal my hand problems. Could I please ask your advice?
I'm working on my scalenes, which Davies says are involved in hand pain. They are very tense. When I press on a part of my middle scalene, a feel a nerve type of pain in my arm.
The book says that pressing on a scalene will sometimes feel like pressing on a nerve. Do you think I'm pressing on a nerve? I don't want to do damage to myself, but I also want to get better as quickly as possible.
@Chikin1ninjas If they get tingling down to the last two fingers, you might be pushing on a nerve. Hitting the nerves can feel like: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
hi does this exercises with neck noises and grinding? it is really frustrating to hear, it doesnt hurt or anything i just want to get rid of the noises, any suggestions? thanks
In the neck area there are around 200 lymph nodes and that is the main area not to push on lumps. Lymph nodes can be as small as a head of a pen and as large as a olive (Abnormal ones are usually a lot bigger).
I have 2 "lumps" on the sides of my neck as well ... and I always have this REALLY tense neck. I thought they were myofascial trigger points, just tightened up muscle that I needed to press on to loosen, but they keep coming back and now this video is making me question whether I should press on them any. Your thoughts?
What causes this muscle to become chronically tight?

Excellent information. Yet it would be helpful to see some stroke examples for trigger point work on the scalenes.

if you don't put pressure on that area of the neck how do you seek out hypertonic muscle or not.

Never push on any lumps in the body. Those could be lymph nodes (huge collection in your neck). Always check with a doctor if you have any questions.
