I do this as part of my PT regimen. My therapist says if I feel any strain or activation at all I'm going too far. From what I understand you really aren't supposed to feel anything.

good! im glad other people have heard about this. other pts gave me similar exercises but i was waaay overdoing it i think and they didnt correct me. my scalenes are inflamed.

i think i found a good pt unfortunately his schedule is so busy that i can rarely even see him

I am familiar with strengthening this muscle. Mine appears to be strong at this point but it has made no improvement on my tos. I sometimes move through my routine by rote and should pay attention more to how my scalenes activate. Thank you for the reminder.

Warm regards,
Anne
