    After thinking I was dying as my throat and ear pain on one side wasn't going away, it turns out it was this blasted muscle that was the cause. Pinching it as demonstrated caused the trigger points in my throat to kick in

    Thank you, my SCMs are really tight and they pull right out of my hands, I've had two concussions in the past couple years along with PCS. Basically all of my muscles in neck, shoulders, and upper back are all super tight and that's with seeing a chiro and acupuncturist who also discovered my sub scalp muscle is super tight. I've used a massage cane to get this muscle and it helps, but thanks to you I can get this muscle if I forget to take it to work with me. Still trying to figure out how to get my occipital nerves to calm down, they feel like turbines when they start winding up and then they buzzzzzzzz. Looking at occipital release tools at the moment. Thanks again for the SCM help.

      Glad this is able to get you some relief. If you're looking for a suboccipital release and have a foam roller handy give this video a try: ruclips.net/video/U9EDdblCj8Q/видео.html

    Holy cow! I can’t believe how helpful this was!! I did these exact movements but on my left side. My SCM was clenched tight and about the size of a half a fist. This exercise done three times for thirty seconds loosened it right up. I can’t believe it!

    Can scm’s flair up into a tight lump of muscle when tmj is triggered? I’ve had my tmj flair up for four days now and I believe my scm is the hard lump of muscle that I feel that needs a ton of stretching to make it go away! The lump is right under my left ear lobe next to the bottom corner of my jaw.

    • @Spza2022
      @Spza2022 4 года назад

      That lump could be a lymph node more likely.

    Where would referred pain go from this muscle?Can tightness in this area cause sternum tenderness or pain if this muscle has pain? This doesn't mess with the jugular vein will it?

      Yes, you can definitely do this lying down with the head supported by a pillow. Just remember to be gentle.

    Can we do this if it feels a bit tender to the touch? I’m scared that if I touch it that it will increase tenderness. Is that normal? Is it also normal for this muscle to really hurt when you cough?

      Yes it does! I used to have pain while swallowing and I thought it was a sore throat, but my doctor said there is nothing. After stretching the SCM it went away.

    How often do you suggest this massage? Once, twice daily?

    • @psoasbodywork
      @psoasbodywork  4 года назад +4

      If you are really trying to proactively work it out, you can work on it 2-3 times a day or at least once daily. Try it for a week and see how it's going. Work within your comfort zone and if it is feeling sore or painful, back off.

    Can u do a video where u contract your knee muscles? Or quads

    • @psoasbodywork
      @psoasbodywork  6 лет назад

      Hi Code Blue. Is there something particular you are looking to focus on? An issue, an injury, or a goal? Depending on that, maybe we could design a video for you or point you to a relevant one already on our channel that suits what you're working on!

    • @wwechamp913

      Psoas Massage + Bodywork like knee pain? Just wanting you guys do a video where you stand and contract your knee muscles/patella/Quads

    • @psoasbodywork
      @psoasbodywork  6 лет назад

      Hi Code Blue! If you're looking to address knee pain, stretching and stabilizing the quads can definitely be part of the process. For that, we recommend this side-lying active isolated stretch: ruclips.net/video/dJtAhKwPA_k/видео.html. We also really like this dynamic stretch that supports stabilization: ruclips.net/video/P329P-aLyZw/видео.html. Hope that helps!
