I don't recall saying that; you might have me confused with someone else. I've been stretching my pec minor. The effect is valuable, but I have to repeat it every 24 - 48 hours.

I believe @Coop42 and @mspennyloafer were digging into their pec minor with good results. IIRC they got better results than with stretching.

You may be interested to know that the authors of this book talk about breaking up muscle tension with heavy massage:

I have dug into my own scalenes a few times and gotten mixed results. One time I got serious relief which felt great, but only lasted a couple hours. Another time, I caused a flare up. There is a lot of stuff in your neck (nerves, blood vessels, muscles going every which way) and I'm not good at navigating that mess.

Currently, I'm struggling with crazy tension around my shoulder blade, but recently I have broke it up with my new fav tool, the RumbleRoller Beastie Ball. I press my upper back against it, against the wall and roll it around and dig it. Feels so good! Better than theracane and backknobber.

I'll probably return to scalene experiments after I get my back settled down. Here are some of my scalene notes btw:

Sometimes the rib is rotated anteriorly. What pulls it in that direction? Based on anatomy, I think it has to be the subclavius. Therefore when the rib is rotated anteriorly, one should work on the subclavius.
