Can you produce a pic of the stretch with the thumb placement and everything? Either your own or one you find on the web on that matches? I would love to have one.

Ill have to take a pic, But pretty much what i do is exactly this
1.Put one hand behind my back as you would in a normal scalene strech
2. With the opposite hand i use the thumb and feel around until i can feel the first rib, it right under the upper traps just have to push down a bit.
3. Then i put pressure on the first rib with my thumb and turn my head away so it streches.
I can easily feel the first rib and when i push down on it hard it can feel it lower very slighty. I dont do it to often though cause it hurts a bit and can cause inflamation if i do it to often.
Im going to a chiro this week so ill check and see if there is anything wrong with what im doing.
