  • What causes this muscle to become chronically tight?

  • 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

  • I'm going to make lots of money so I can hire massage nerd to take care of me.

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

  • very useful info - esp re: finger pain. you just confirmed that all my pain is scalene related. thank you

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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • I like your videos.Nice work.

    i will like to see lots more videos from you.

    This is very nice imformation.

    Thanks
