🌿 Day 3
SCM sternocleidomastoid Release
Today we’re working with the SCM — the long, rope‑like muscle that helps you turn, tilt, and stabilise your head.
It also sits right over major pathways for blood and lymph, which is why keeping it soft matters so much.
When the SCM gets tight, you might notice:
👉 A forward‑leaning head from
phone or computer use
👉 Jaw tension or clicking
👉 A tight, full, or congested
feeling in the neck
👉 Discomfort when turning your
head
👉 A slightly strained look
through the lower face
Because the SCM is active every time you look down, scroll, or hold your head forward, it can easily become overworked.
Releasing it supports better fluid flow, easier jaw movement, and a lighter, more relaxed neck.
✨ Routine:
Lymphatic Drainage - 10 rubs/ 10 tabs
Collar bones - behind the ear - armpits - tummy - groin - behind the knees
Platysma Stretch - 5-10 in each direction
SCM Stretch - 20-40 sec working through each side
