Clinical experience indicates that most physical pain symptoms are caused by trigger points, which are small knots in the muscle that keep it tight and weak. Trigger points can refer pain signals to another location in the body, making it difficult to find the source of the problem. The location of the pain is not always where the problem is. As you learn how to track down knots in the muscles or trigger points, you will discover how to get rid of your pain. You become the expert.
When you have the tools and techniques, healing pain symptoms is fun and easy. Therapy tools, a self-therapy workbook, training assistance, and free technique videos are available here.

Self-massage therapy for the SCM Muscle

When the SCM muscle is tight you might not even know it. Trigger points in the SCM muscles send pain up to the jaw, neck, and head. Self-massage to the SCM will help treat the problem. What works for me is to multitask using a spiky massage ball to massage the other culprits like the trapezius, masseter, and temporalis muscles that will contribute to the pain symptoms.

https://tomspiros.net/index.php/2022/06/05/self-massage-technique-for-scm-muscle/

Mastering Your Masseter Muscle

There are many muscles in the jaw, face, and head. There are two important muscles we focus on for self-therapy and the first is the masseter. The masseters are the muscles of the jaw that create force while chewing. Poor posture, gum chewing, tooth decay, grinding your teeth, or long hours of dental work can strain the jaw muscles. Pain here can cause sensitive teeth and restrict the opening of the jaw or even cause pain around the face.

When pain symptoms become worse trigger points in these muscles can create temporomandibular joint pain or TMJ which is felt in the jaw, temples, and face. This condition is more common than you think, and millions of people suffer needlessly from pain. When the muscles are tight, grinding of the teeth and jaw occur, and jaw pain will ensue with chronic pain in the head and neck. Until you have this corrected, I recommend that you wear a mouth guard if you are grinding your teeth during the night or day.

When treating this muscle wear a hoodie to protect your skin. Lying face down with your head turned to one side, allow the weight of your head to sink into the spiky massage ball on top of the masseter. Position the ball along the jaw from the cheekbone to the bottom edge of the jaw. You can feel around the whole area near the ear and back of the jaw. Cover everywhere you can and feel for tight painful areas. Massage one side and then the other for balance. This can be a sensitive area so it’s best to work within your limits. Feel around for any tight spots and hold for 30 seconds, then move on. If you have pain symptoms in the muscles, practice this massage 2 or 3 times a day until the problem is gone.

Mastering Your Scalene Muscles

The scalenes are a group of muscles that attach to the sides of your neck vertebrae and to your top two ribs on each side of the neck. The muscles help to balance and support the weight of the head along with raising the upper two ribs each time you inhale. They are active in each breath you take and work especially hard during vigorous activities.

There are many normal activities that cause pain when the muscle is overworked. Working on a computer, driving a car, or operating equipment with arms lifted for hours can be troubling. Carrying a heavy backpack or purse will stress these muscles as they remain contracted for long durations. If you have ever been in an auto accident or had a fall will also bring on trigger points to these muscles.

You rarely feel the pain in the scalenes themselves because they send referred pain down to the shoulder, upper back, chest, arm, and hand. They can be the real source of carpal tunnel symptoms. The pain sent to the chest from the scalenes can be mistaken for angina. Referred pain sent to the shoulder is usually mislabeled as bursitis or tendonitis. When these trigger points persist, they can shorten and contract the scalene muscles, squeezing the nerves that pass through the area down the arm causing swelling, numbness, and tingling called thoracic outlet syndrome. Once you understand that these problems could be coming from the scalene muscles in your neck, the solution is very simple.

If you know where the sternocleidomastoid muscle is it is easy to locate and treat the scalenes. (Learn where the SCM is at https://tomspiros.net/index.php/2022/05/15/the-sternocleidomastoid-muscle/ ) First grip your sternocleidomastoid between your fingers and thumb like you would massage it. The anterior portion of the scalene muscle lies beneath the SCM. You can press with paired fingers as you push the muscle down and across the neck about an in, then release the pressure and repeat the stroke. Feel around for any areas of pain as this is an indication of a trigger point.

The middle scalene is more exposed directly on the sides of the neck. Continue to press down and across the muscle for five or six strokes, moving the skin below up to an inch or so, then repeat the stroke.

To treat the posterior scalenes use the hand with the best access and pair your fingers. You can work down where the trapezius attaches to the collarbone and all the way up behind the ear. Press down with your paired fingers searching all along the muscle for tight sensitive areas. Pressing for 30 seconds then moving on along the muscle.

Just do what feels right and massage the whole side of the neck feeling and pressing out any tight bands of muscle. You will notice that trigger points here make you cringe and duck or can even bring on referred pain to another area. You don’t need to worry these muscles can have strange pain signals. Stay clear of the front of the neck as there is no reason to put pressure on anything in front of the SCM. Use a steady pressure of 7 or less on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is very light and 10 is very painful pressure. Continue with these treatments several times per day for a couple of minutes until the knots are gone and you will find pain problems in the shoulder and upper body will diminish.

Mastering Your Trapezius Muscle

The trapezius is a four-cornered muscle that covers most of the upper back and helps move the shoulder and support the weight of the head. Having a poor posture or doing physical activities that keep your shoulders raised or arms extended will put stress on this muscle. The symptoms of trigger points here can create labels, like bursitis of the shoulder, disk compression, headaches, or migraines. This muscle can also send pain to the jaw, temples, and down the side of the neck.

The top portion of the trapezius can be treated by lying faceup on your yoga mat or carpeting with the spiky massage tool behind your head. Allow the weight of your head to sink into the spiky massage ball and feel around for tightness along the back of the head where the muscle attaches. Wear a layer or two with a hoodie to protect your skin during massage. Massage behind the neck and head, then begin to slowly move your body or adjust the ball to treat further down along the neck.

The area on top of the shoulder can be massaged best by placing the ball just above the shoulder blade. Use paired fingers to press the top portion of the trapezius against the ball, feeling for tight and painful knots along the band of muscle that runs from the neck to the top of the shoulder. You can do one side, then the opposite.
The other areas below can be massaged by rolling the spiky massage tool over the whole four-cornered muscle in between the shoulder blades and down the middle back. This muscle covers many other muscles below, so as you treat it, you also affect other muscles of the rotator cuff, upper back, and neck. Roll around one side of the upper back all the way up to and along the spine without crossing over or putting direct pressure on the spine itself, then do the other side.

Feel around for tender areas of tight muscle for several minutes or more. Relax your body as you allow the ball to sink into any tight knots or trigger points for 30 seconds or so then move on. You can focus on short massage strokes back and forth, up and down along the muscle until you find another tight spot to sink into. Use your body weight to adjust the pressure. Try to aim for a level of 7 on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is no pain and 10 is very painful. Practice for several minutes until you are comfortable with the massage, then slowly increase the length of your sessions. Practice every day until the pain is gone.

Mastering your SCM Musles

The sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) is located behind the ear and runs along the side of the neck. The function of the muscle is to turn the head and to keep it stable during movements. If your posture is poor or you often do heavy lifting or you have been involved in a fall or whiplash, odds are you have trigger points here. Chronic trigger points in the SCMs are directly to blame for headaches, ear pain, and balance problems. Pain in this muscle can create jaw pain, as well as tightness and eventual misalignment of the temporomandibular joints in the jaw, a very debilitating and confusing condition (TMJ Disorder). The SCM can create a neck stiffness that keeps your head tilted to one side. You can relieve these painful symptoms yourself in the simplest way.

To treat this muscle, take all of the soft tissue between your fingers and thumb and knead with the opposite hand. It feels like a muscular rope in between your fingers. Relax your head and neck as you practice squeezing from the top of the muscle to the bottom and back up several times. Feel around for any tight or painful areas and squeeze for 30 seconds or so when you find a trigger point, then move along throughout the muscle.

The muscle hurts when squeezed, but you can't do this muscle any harm. Your symptoms are likely to disappear after you have massaged the muscle regularly over several days. A single session can be a minute or two and done several times a day until it no longer hurts. Try to keep the pressure at a level of 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 to 10, where the number 1 is no pain and 10 is very painful.

Self-massage therapy has all the benefits of your massage therapist and costs you much less.

Seeing your massage therapist on a regular basis will cost you considerable amounts of money and time. Self-massage therapy will keep the money in your pockets and put time back in your day. Self-massage therapy will also empower you to treat your own body and give you the tools and techniques to put the healing in your hands.

Check out some of the most relevant benefits of massage you must have in mind to look after your health. Self-massage therapy has all the same benefits as your massage therapist except for the power of the human touch.

*Reduce Stress Levels

After a study conducted on the effects of trigger point therapy, it showed that there was a significant decrease in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. Plus, after 10 to 15 minutes massage lowered the levels of oxygen consumption, blood pressure, and salivary cortisol.

So, we can conclude that changes in psychological states have improved physical health condition produced by high-stress levels.

*Relief of Anxiety

The same study also revealed the impact of the relief of anxiety and depression for people in a wide range of health situations after some massage sessions. The immediate massage benefits included the reduction of anxiety, depressed mood and anger, while the long-term impact reduced depression and increased serotonin values.

*Pain Relief

A considerable amount of Americans seek for massages when they are in pain as a pain reveler. Samueli Institute stated, in a meta-analysis of research on massage therapy, that massage therapy is extremely effective for pain management.

*Preventing Care

Massage therapy can be an asset for preventive care as well. By doing it regularly, you can prevent skeletomuscular injuries from becoming a serious problem which could lead you to a mobility or flexibility problem. This kind of therapy help to lengthen muscles stuck in a chronic shortening.

*Enhance Fitness Practice

Massages can be a compliment for regular fitness practice because it can help you enhance your efforts. A massage therapist would be able to isolate and create length or opening in muscle groups and joints by applying techniques to the soft tissue.
Try massages before regular exercise practice to see the results. Once you have worked with a massage therapist to lengthen those restrictive muscles, try some practice to challenge them; you will find that parts of the practice that had seemed challenging, unpleasant, or downright impossible are reachable.

*Relaxing the Mind

Several people use meditation and breathing techniques to relax the mind and connect with themselves. However, it might be a real challenge because it requires a self-created stillness which is not simple to accomplish in modern life.
If you are one of those people who find it difficult to relax, regular massages can be beneficial for you. By incorporating techniques which act upon the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems, you will slow down your heart rate, decrease activity in an overstimulated nervous system, and so, deepen your breathing.
At the same time, a relaxing massage will help you to keep your body, mind, and spirit relaxed for long periods avoiding the adverse effects of stress.

*Elevate Mood

If you notice you are down, or you want a lift of spirit, massages can turn your mood around. A massage treatment causes a mood boost by releasing endorphins into the bloodstream which act as natural painkillers creating a general feeling of well-being.

*Pleasure Experience

Last but not least, you will find massage therapy as a therapeutic experience. It is one of the few truly healthy ways you can treat yourself to a physically pleasurable experience that is also beneficial to your health. Give it a try just for the sake of feeling better not only physically but mentally.
No matter the reason you have, massage has lots of benefits that cannot be ignored. Do not lose the chance to feel and look better with this therapy. Avoid stress and health problems by practicing self-massage therapy.

Clients normally can't heal a pain symptom with one massage treatment.

It takes multiple sessions, sometimes daily treatments to curb the problem. That may cost too much money and time.
