I get many comments from people when it comes to this muscle. "Are you massaging my lymph?" "What is that?" "I've never had someone massage that muscle before."
Unless you have had trauma to the front of your neck then your body NEEDS SCM massage. (Your massage therapist should not be pressing down on this, more like a grabbing sensation) Often times people report of referrals to parts of the head where headaches stem from or just neck tension in general is relieved from this massage. This is one of my favorite muscles to address at home on myself for self care. Let me know if you'd like to learn how at your next appointment.
