Did this work for you?

I've got to think that you have to strengthen those muscles so you can give the scalenes a break. Once they feel like they're not needed as much maybe they'll give a little.

I just did 4 sets at the gym on a bench. Raised my head to neutral position, held for 5 seconds, repeated for 15 repetitions.

I must say I'm a bit flared up right now.
