I'd like to add 6. ITB, Iliotibial band, IT band. Do NOT foam roll this, it's not a muscle. Instead to find relief from a tight ITB roll your glutes (your butt), your hamstrings (the back of your thigh), and your quads (the front of your thigh).

🔈DO NOT ROLL OUT THESE AREAS OF YOUR BODY

Foam rollers or lacrosse balls can be really useful to self-release tight muscles or trigger points however not every part of the body can be rolled out. We need to keep common sense about where to and where NOT to be rolling out.

It is not recommend to roll out the following 5 areas of the body.

1. Side of your neck, especially behind your collar bone. There are lots of nerves there.

2. Armpit; there are some important muscles accessible in this region, but it’s also easy to press your nerves against your arm bone and thinking it’s good because ‘it hurts’.

3. Between your triceps and biceps, on the inside of your arm. This area is often worked to help with ‘fascial planes and sliding’, which probably isn’t happening the way we think. It’s also an area where you are able to directly press your nerves and blood vessels against the bone. Never a good idea.

4. Your abdomen. Stop pressing heavy objects into your abdomen. Are you trying to roll out your liver and kidneys? Your psoas is underneath all your organs. Not going to happen.

5. Back of your knee. You have nerves and blood vessels directly in the back of your knee, proceed gently in this region if at all.

When foam rolling, focus on areas of muscle mass, not arteries, nerves or organs.

Are there any other areas that you would add to the list?

Looks like I have the start of a wall of shame... First one I've gotten in my 6 years in practice. Don't mess with me, I didn't go to school and go into student debt to be a pr******te. If that is your view of what massage therapy should consist of then you are a sad human. If you recognize this number make sure he knows I really did report his number to the police and am now posting it on Facebook for all to see.

These exercises described here are also good for people who work at a computer, drive long distances, or educate small children. You'd be surprised how much of a difference it makes when you try to open up your chest and shoulders.

I integrate assisted stretching into most of my sessions also. Call/text 843-900-4374 or PM here on FB 😊

🔈THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME

Thoracic outlet syndrome is a disorder characterized by pain and paresthesias in a hand, the neck, a shoulder, or an arm.
Pathogenesis often involves compression of the lower trunk of the brachial plexus (and perhaps the subclavian vessels) as these structures traverse the thoracic outlet below the scalene muscles and over the 1st rib, before they enter the axilla.

Compression may be caused by:
• A cervical rib
• An abnormal 1st thoracic rib
• Abnormal insertion or position of the scalene muscles
• A malunited clavicle fracture
• Thoracic outlet syndromes are more common among women and usually develop between age 35 and 55.

Symptoms and Signs of TOS
Pain and paresthesias usually begin in the neck or shoulder and extend to the medial aspect of the arm and hand and sometimes to the adjacent anterior chest wall. Many patients have mild to moderate sensory impairment in the C8 to T1 distribution on the painful side; a few have prominent vascular-autonomic changes in the hand (e.g., cyanosis, swelling). In even fewer, the entire affected hand is weak.

Rare complications of thoracic outlet compression syndromes include Raynaud syndrome localized to the affected arm and distal gangrene.

Exercise:
• Pectoralis stretch: Stand in a doorway or corner with both arms on the wall slightly above your head. Slowly lean forward until you feel a stretch in the front of your shoulders. Hold 15 to 30 seconds. Repeat 3 times.

• Thoracic extension: While sitting in a chair, clasp both arms behind your head. Gently arch backward and look up toward the ceiling. Repeat 10 times. Do this several times per day.

• Arm slide on wall: Sit or stand with your back against a wall and your elbows and wrists against the wall. Slowly slide your arms upward as high as you can while keeping your elbows and wrists against the wall. Do 3 sets of 10.

• Rowing exercise: Tie a piece of elastic tubing around an immovable object and grasp the ends in each hand. Keep your forearms vertical and your elbows at shoulder level and bent to 90 degrees. Pull backward on the band and squeeze your shoulder blades together. Repeat 10 times. Do 3 sets.
