Neck
Muscle Movements
The stretches in
this chapter are excellent overall stretches; however, not all of these
stretches
may be
completely suited to each person’s needs. The muscles involved in the various
neck
movements appear
in the following table. To stretch specific muscles, the stretch must involve
one or more
movements in the opposite direction of the desired muscle’s movements. For
example, if you
want to stretch the left scalene, you could extend the head both backward
and laterally to
the right. When a muscle has a high level of stiffness, you should use fewer
simultaneous
opposite movements (you would stretch a very tight right scalene by initially
doing just left
lateral extension). As a muscle becomes loose, you can incorporate more
simultaneous
opposite movements.
