Do you know how to tell the sps from rhomboids?

It looks to me, like the serratus is underneath the rhomboids, and the trapezius covers the rhomboids, so it's like three layers of muscle there.

On the topic of spasms, anyone have any ideas (at all) on how to get them to release and stay released for any amount of time?
I have several spots that I call my "permaknots" because even when they release, they're back within hours and back to the same degree in less than 2 days. The only person who seems to make any difference with them is my physical therapist but she's getting very frustrated that she can't get them to go and stay gone. Insurance isn't going to allow me to go to PT indefinitely and my PT doesn't want to keep treating me if I'm not making any progress. I had a rheumatologist tell me to drink tonic water every night but that is not recommended while I am breastfeeding and I intend on getting pregnant in the relatively near future (with no current plans on weaning) so that's just not an option at this point. Every doctor I've been to seems against any medication so muscle relaxants aren't on the table. Any techniques, homeopathic remedies, or therapies that may help? I'm willing to try about anything! |

LL&T,
Have your ribs been evaluated by someone experienced in rib mobilization since your surgery? Your ribs may be way out of alignment which can definitely cause permaknots. Sounds like good news that you feel well enough to start planning for another pregnancy so soon. I don't know how you've managed this ordeal while caring for your current infant. Props

Thanks for the props :-) I have a lot of family support and her father really picks up the slack. My (now 17 month old) toddler is absolutely fantastic so she really doesn't cause any issues for me. I'm looking to get pregnant in about another year when my insurance is better and money matters are in order. With my issues, sooner is better than later regardless of how I'm feeling if I want another child. Oh, the things we sacrifice for our offspring :-P Anyway, I'll ask about my ribs to my PT. If she's not sure what to do she won't touch me. I'm also currently seeing another doctor about Ehlers Danlos and scoliosis so I'll be getting sent to a chiropractor soon anyway that may be able to help in that area I would assume? |

interesting because, after some physical therapy, i feel a "kick" in my feet. it is like my nerves are stretching themselves out.
since our facia is all connected, and your entire nervous system is actually one big thing (that probably got bunched up and tight), it makes sense that perhaps i was using extra slack all the way down to my feet in order to compensate for the tension in my thoracic outlet. i mean, it is just odd how my nerves in my feet are kicking out. |
