Self Healing Guide for treating the neck and shoulder.What do you FeelTightness that turns to pain on the sides and back of the neck leading from the base of the head down into the base of the neck. The Movement that Aggravates it Looking down to the floor might cause increased tightness and restriction and tilting the head to the side could cause some pain. Evaluating the Condition The neck, shoulders and upper back share many common muscles. This is a very complex area that perform many movements on different planes and is subject to stresses transmitted by the arms and hands like lifting, pulling, pushing. These stresses cause the tightening and shortening of the muscles in the this area and they are the Trapezius, Splenius, Semispinalis, Scalenes, Sternocleidomastoid and the Levator Scapula. A Plan that Produces Results To relieve discomfort in the muscles of this area and increase the range of motion, the tightness in each must be relieved. The first step in finding the correct solution is to understand the problem. So before applying a treatment, thoroughly evaluate the condition of this area, when you are stationery and relaxed and then during specific movements. All the muscles of this area have multiple functions in manipulating the head, neck and shoulders and in so doing the arms as well. The efficicient approach to treatment is to take note of the type of sensation you feel, the exact location you feel it at and the movement that causes the sensation. This will give you an idea of the muscle that is affected and which should be treated. The Treatment Regiment It is always advisable to look for a solution that addresses the cause of the condition and that will provide a solution that lasts. A couple of pain killers could give you relief for a few hours. Even some therapies could give you relief for a few days. These remedies generally merely address the pain and not the cause of the pain. With the Nydoo Technique, which I cover in this website you will learn to find trrigger points that are the actual cause of pain in the muscle and then how to treat them correctly for best results. Also you will learn to use imagery and relaxation techniques to complement the treatment as well as the use of focused stretches to speed up the healing process. Detailed descriptions of the treatment procedures for each muscle in this area will be provided in a new section that is currently being developed. The links to each of these procedures will soon appear on this page. In the meantime you may email your questions to Raj. |
