Ah Yes! We tend to hold our
heads forward as we work, cook, write, read and especially lean over computer
keyboards. As a result the pectoral muscles tend to shorten and tighten.
Trigger points in these muscles are good ones to check and keep free of
myofascial pain. This technique "re-educates the pectoral muscles to hold
head and shoulders in proper alignment.
Position
Working one side of the body at a time, position the Relax Mat® along two or
three imaginary lines across the body, holding the mat with two hands
overlapped and "hugging" it into each trigger point to a 12/7 count..
Stretch
Do your favorite stretches, provided by your health care professional.
Aquatherapy
This technique can be used in aquatherapy.
