Neck pain is quite common. Scalene muscle tightness can occur from things such as whiplash injuries, bad posture and from keeping the head in a forward head posture. If you have trigger points or muscle knots in the scalene musculature, pain can refer down the arm and to the shoulder. That's why its important to self treat the scalene muscles with trigger point therapy, using your hands or the Muscle Wizard.
Since the scalenes, particularly the anterior scalene muscle, produce a wide variety of strange pain, its important to start with your stretches slowly. If neck stretching increases pain or discomfort, stop and go back to self trigger point treatments. You may have to do this several times before you find the scalene stretch useful and provides neck pain relief for longer periods of time.

Wow! I've had pain all day and thought I would look for a helpful video. After a Trigger point session and a few scalene stretches, I felt a release and my pain dropped dramatically! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll be able to sleep tonight.
I thought I had a cervical pinched nerve and all points for it were leading that way but nothing was ever being solved. And then I decided to look into the muscles in my neck and realized my problem could be elsewhere. Stumbled upon the scalene muscles and researched how those can be the culprit in which I was led to believe it was cervical radiculopathy. It now appears that the scalenes were causing symptoms. Thanks so much for your videos!
Does scalene muscle also cause throat tightness?
THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING SO WELL. I BEEN SUFFERING FOR 20 YEARS WITH MUSCLE KNOTS/TRIGGER POINTS/ FASCIA RESTRICTION, AND RANGE OF MOTION. I have all the tools, read books but can't seem to release them. You are helping more than any book by slowly showing me what to do, and how to use the tools correctly. I might be able to get a little relief now. I would love to know how to work on all my muscles under my arm pits. and all through pecs. These get way under my arm pits and i have to squeeze deeply through. I will look for more on your site. ty
Great video! Thank you! Clear and effective!
This is great, thanks!
Great stretch to release pain.
This is exactly what I needed to continue to get better from whip lash along with the chiropractor and massage therapist. We just figured out my latest symptoms involve the scalene muscles.
Thank you Doctor
Love it thanks
Yes!!! Please come over!!!!!!!!!
Very nice stretch. I am suffering from chronic tension headache and this really helped. Please keep up the good work. God Bless.
I'm not getting how to do
Great video
Thanks man, been bothering me all week
Glad it could help!
You are a god😭 thanks. I got relief instantly
how has it been going with your pain now
A real professional 👍
I tried the massage with the thumb a few of weeks ago when I got severely dizzy; it worked. I then told my physiotherapists that I finally knew what was giving me dizziness (they claimed to have no idea), but after weeks of acupuncture specifically in that area I felt no improvement, and they just said it was a result of the loss of curvature in my neck (too straight).
The continuous pain gave me the courage to try and follow your whole set of recommendations, so for the past two days I’ve been doing the massage, stretches and a bit of isometric exercises.
Well, guess what? I feel like I have a new neck! I’m still dizzy, my shoulders hurt a lot, but I feel lighter and can raise my arms! Even the pins-needles sensation that I had been experiencing in my legs for seven years decreased! In just two days! Sorry for using so many exclamation marks, I’m just sooOOO happy, amazed, and full of hope now.
Thanks for making sharing what you know through these videos.
how are you now? the dizziness may be from SCM !!
It’s probably your scm causing the dizziness. Also could be your traps. There’s one trigger point of the traps that is indistinguishable from the scm that causes dizziness. Also, massage sub occipitals. I also have/had dizziness on and off through the years. Nothing helped and no one had a clue. After basically researching trigger points and massage, I fixed myself and when it happens again, I get out my massage books and do it again. I always do my neck, chest and shoulder muscles. Good luck to you!
hi i have left side scalene pain last 20 days what will i do sir can you give me advise ?
Very nice information really helpful
A lot
Can this type of trigger may lead to earache? Your reply will be very helpful. Thanks for sharing
Between the focused stretch and the TPT, I finally have relief in my left lower neck area. Thank You!
Video on stremming
Are there any trigger points to stop Laryngospasm?
Great video at 3:00ish. As a personal trainer, Corrective exercise specialist and massage therapist it would be helpful to break it down in steps: 1) laterally flex 2) rotate contra-laterally, etc...
Thanks so much for the stretch! Can't wait to try it and try it with my clients 👌
Thank you so much I've been struggling with this for many many years I tried many different things and I just needed something that would be simple something I could do on the job something I could do during the day not too complicated and I think this is going to work for me thank you so much
My right scalene‘s tend to feel tight I have a nagging pain when I move a certain way. When I do the tilt where I take my left ear to my left shoulder sometimes my ear starts ringing and I get dizzy.
Can I use my hand to pull my head towards a side to make it a little more intense?
No
DNS - Dorsal Scapular Nerve Entrapment Syndrome - an inflamed scalene from bad posture can entrap this nerve and refer pain to shoulder blade, arm etc. Thinking that's what i've got. Could be a cervical issue too...C3-6
Can pain from that muscle cause severe nausea? I've been having a pain in the left side of my neck that's burning weird and makes me feel ill.
Your Vegas nerve runs through your neck and heads straight to your stomach. Focus some research on that and see what you can find.
Can this effect your shoulder?
good question Travis. The referral patterns for scalenes is very similar to a nerve root irritation. Want to see the referral pattern that you can get from a scalene trigger point? Check out the following link:
www.triggerpoints.net/muscle/scalene
One thing to note though. Pressing around the trigger points should recreate the pain, and it should gradually reduce after pressing on the trigger point. If pain gets worse and doesn't improve, then it may be something else. Hope that helps!
yes
i did this i caused a burning sensation and prickling
can scalene pain have any connection to a weak rotator cuff?
Fairly unlikely. The rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) all originate at the scapula (the shoulder blade) and generally attach to your humerus. Their main function is stabilization and rotation of the arm. The scalene muscles originate at cervical vertebrae and attach to rib 1. The posterior scalenus attaches to rib 2. The main function of the scalenes is neck flexion
rediscovered this comment, still have scaline pain
Everytime I try this it feel intense pulling in my scapula
I feel a direct pull behind the mastoid on the occipital.. nothing in the muscle
Thanks
•UPDATE• After 4 years my scalene muscles still are tighter than ever. Still cause me nightly shoulder and arm pains. The scalene muscles are just EVIL.
Confusing. ?

Hope that helps!
Good strech.. but you need to teach it properly
What are you suggesting??
I’m a massage therapist looking for sstretching suggestions to use on and give to my clients. I’m blind, so I’m having an impossible time following this video: “Turn your head this way and angle that way”, etc. needs more descriptive narration; please help.
