To conclude Three part series os why we have chronic neck pain., I show you 5 muscles that can clear up neck pain. Using trigger point therapy and stretching the scalenes you will be able to get the first rib to begin to move again. If you have not watched the first two video, please do so. Within the first video, I show you that the first rib helps with breathing and can get compressed not allowing proper breathing. Due to emotional tension or overstress. The second video I walk you through a few muscles that can break the cycle of pain. It helps you turn your head and regain neck mobility. To get further training on the techniques, we will be using today look into the trigger point video course I teach.  Today these 5 muscles that can clear up neck pain need to be worked with regularly. To allow the muscle tissues to move accordingly. Granted you also adjust the primary cause of the lack of breathing. YOUR ENVIRONMENT, your emotional load, and overall stress load.

PECS

The first muscle within the 5 muscles that can clear up neck pain is your pecs.  The pecs can tighten and is a massive muscle that can sit on top of the rib cage restricting its movements. Trigger pointing this muscle routinely in your self care practice will begin the process of eliminating more the neck pain but shoulder pain as well. Pecs run from sternum to clavicle to shoulder. You will take the trigger point ball and cup it with your hand and slowly roll it on your chest. Moving it closer to the clavicle will show you many areas of tightness.

SCM

Second muscle within the 5 muscle to clear up neck pain is the Sternocleidomastoid. We covered this muscle in the last video, but gently grabbing and gathering the muscle between the pointer and thumb to work with the points. It will help break the cycle of neck pain and regain neck mobility.
