I've been wondering if the Acuforce 7.0 Massage Weighted Tool could target the first rib more precisely than the towel approach. After I see hellothere's pic, I'll decide if I want to be the guinea pig. |

I also would be very much interested in this question since I have started the program last week. The shoulder circling is painful no matter how far I raise the shoulders. Is this ok? I do it very gentle, but still it hurts but I am sure I cannot just skip this excercise. We could start another thread on this if there does not exist one already, if you want to. KR Monica |

I tried the "moving version" of Chinese Chi Kung / Qigong and had the exact same problems with the shoulder. Plus I was worried that all the motion would add to any inflammation in the thoracic region. For that reason, I switched to the "static version" called Zhan Zhuang.
If you want to start a new thread for fresh discussion on people's results for the Butler stretches, feel free! |

I couldn't endure listening to the entire presentation as his speaking skills were frustrating, so I read the text below.
I like a lot of what he had to say and his "theories" seemed reasonable, but the no stretch rule is confusing me. I can see never purposely performing a stretch, but I stretch throughout my entire day in normal activities. Driving is the first thing which pops in my mind, turning to back the car up, merging on the freeway, etc. Is there a difference from what he terms a "stretch" to normal day to day movement? I was also wondering if anyone ever had the maneuver performed on them which he describes as shoving the costoclavicular (think this was the muscle) up under their clavicle until they want to scream, waiting for the 10 to become 0 in pain and then releasing? I may ask my PT to torture me and see what happens. Anne |

and she says often to modify any of the moves so that you can do it - don't fore or push thru pain as it sets you back.

I've been doing that too lately. Running the fingers along the muscle while willing it to relax and elongate.

he said something like no muscle can counteract the scalene pulling the ribs up but does serratus anterior do that
i posted a link to him awhile back, he's good. i feel sorry for all of you getting spasms *knock on wood*..stretching made my spasms worse. its more of a preventative thing imho |
