My scalenes were minimally hypertrophied per a 3D MRI from a few years back. I had constant sensations of strangling pre-MRI, so I'm not sure what their condition is today.

The radiologist who read the MRI said "I would not get out of "it" without a scalenectomy at minimum." So how does one have minimally hypertrophied scalenes and the recommendation to remove them?

With manual PT, my scalenes rarely give me the strangulation feeling now. Over talking, yelling and singing seem to make them scream a bit though. I'm headed to a Coldplay concert now, so I'll see what my scalenes think of it.

I bought the Intelliskin because of Nospam and I love it so far! My PT is even impressed with what I can do wearing it and the lack of negative fall out, especially scapula instability.
