How to Stretch your Scalenes

A very effective neck stretch that targets the Scalenes muscle group. Tightness in these muscles can contribute to conditions such as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)

This stretching technique uses a self administered MET (muscle energy technique) style. 

MET utilises something called the GTO that regulates muscle tone. By stretching in this way you avoid activating the muscle spindles that can cause a protective contraction of the muscle.
