Scalenes Trigger Points

This video provides a clear explanation of the scalenes anatomy as it relates to trigger points and trigger point treatment/release.

The more time spent with a forward head posture, the more likely it is that one will develop neck and shoulder problems
Most neck pain that is not caused by whiplash or other trauma has a postural component as part of the underlying problem. Sitting atop the body, the health of the neck is subject to the curvature of the spine and the position of the head above.

Neck pain is often associated with trigger points, and these may develop as a result of postural issues or by way of over-compensation for an injury or trigger points elsewhere in the body (commonly the shoulders).

If the alignment of the head and spine is not optimal, the neck can be predisposed to injury and/or the degenerative effects of wear and tear over time.

In cases of neck pain we are typically looking for trigger points in the scalenes, suboccipital, subscapularis, pectoralis minor, and levator scapulae muscles.
