Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints for which people seek health care assistance. Postural strain, trauma, muscle imbalances, and “wear and tear” can all lead to dysfunction and pain. The techniques illustrated below can decrease tension and stress, improve flexibility, and ease pain.
To work the muscles at the base of your head (suboccipitals), lie on a mattress and place the center knobs at the base of your skull. Slowly turn your head side to side or up and down. If the pressure is too great, place the Myotool on a pillow or put a folded towel over the knobs.
To stretch the suboccipital muscles, lie on your back and position the center knobs at the base of your skull. Gently push the Myotool upward with both hands. Relax and breathe slowly and evenly.
While standing or sitting, glide or pump the center knobs at the base of your skull. This can also be done lying on your back. Put the Myotool on a pillow or put a folded towel over the knobs if the pressure is too great.
Use an end-knob to sustain pressure on tight or knotted muscles in your mid or lower neck. Breathe slowly and evenly.
Glide an end-knob down the back and sides of your neck. Applying a little lotion to your neck will improve the gliding. Bend your head forward or to the side to increase the stretch.
Use the center knobs to work both sides of your neck simultaneously in a gliding or pumping motion.
Sustain pressure over the muscles connecting your neck to your shoulders with the tri-knobs and bi-knobs. Bend your head to the opposite side to increase the stretch.
Roll the center knobs along both sides of your spine in a pumping motion while standing, sitting, or lying on your back.
Position both center knobs to one side of your neck and glide them down toward your shoulders. Bend you neck forward or to the side to increase the stretch.
While lying on your back, use an end knob to work your upper back and between your shoulder blades with sustained pressure or with a rocking motion.
