He also did a technique where he anchored the heel of his hands near my collarbones (upper pecs) and did the slow deep tension stretch downward to my chest.
Not much movement really more the a anchor of the muscle and the slow tension downwards.
This was when I was having the severe spasms in mid 2004, my upper body (mid ribcage & up) was more or less locked up at the time.
I did see a physio who thought my scalenes were ok but I didn't have too much faith in her and in theory because of my head forwards posture my scalenes could be tight. I just don't feel it though.Maybe i should try another practitioner
