Am I supposed to be able to breathe during the cranial cervical flexion? I can barely squeeze in air but exhaling is almost impossible. Granted, I'm experiencing breathing issues and trying to address overactive secondary respiratory muscles, but still.
@@EthJacko No I have not yet. I do smoke maybe one smoke a day, I find it gets agitated when I do. I plan on going to get it checked out Tuesday. I will keep you posted.
Pro Tip: Chin tuck while sitting in your car's driver seat. For whatever reason... the intensity of pushing your head into the headrest gives craaaazy stimulation.
I had eagle syndrome surgery recently on the right side and this muscle is always swollen. This surgery isn’t going to fix it just like all the other surgeries did not. My cartridge in my throat will pop over and I can keep it in place (toward the swollen muscle)and I believe it’s this muscle. I always swell and just live in extreme pain. Radiates to the back of the neck on the same side into my shoulder blade. Any ideas ?
omg thank you for this! ive had a migraine literally every day this week and noticed my neck was also hurting. sat here and cried in so much pain then looked up what it could possibly be and came across this video. as soon as i tried this, the pain in my head & neck subsided. thank you so much
So so happy to find you, sir! Female here 57yo. 4 months in the hell with sore throat ear pain in the clavicle problem with the breathing… i felt miserable, until i found you and found your video about sternocleidomastoid muscle, i did not know i have it in my neck:) went to neurologists they gave me anticonvulsants, went to kinesitherapiss , ostheopats…..none mention to me that might problems can come from those muscles… wish you a good health and thank you for sharing this info with us the sufferers
Wonderful information. A physio I saw years ago also suggested changing the angles to find the tension spots. As a road cyclist doing work on the neck and upper back is very important to keep these areas limber and free of headaches. Thanks. 😊
My scm are very tight and also my hip flexors are tight which I have been trying my very best to heal on my own I’m so glad that today it dawned on me that I really need to pay attention to this more! I have right jaw muscle all from stress.. my revelations about my health are actually very interesting. Definitely going to try again to not drink so much coffee
my pain is along my entire rectus abdominus muscle. and the pain radiates into my groin and testicle. so bad. waiting to see if my pain doc will try some injections. i need relief!
This was so helpful. I couldn't identify where my pain was coming from - and avoided rubbing the side of my neck for fear of death (I saw a scary Tik Tok) - tried this and oh my hat! I found the area that's been causing me so much discomfort! I'm addicted to pinching that muscle now!
I have this issue. I have soreness down at the lower trap. I feel like it pulling on my upper trap preventing upward rotation. When I do standing Ys it causes severe headaches. I think it is very weak and dysfunctional
