The Most Dangerous Scalene Triangle Stretch: RUN AWAY!

Physical therapists ALL recommend this scalene triangle stretch. In my opinion, it's one of the most dangerous ones. But first of all: why should you stretch the scalenes? Because they are frequently involved in forward head posture, leading to upper back pain, shoulder pain, chest pain, neck pain, arm pain and tingling... In this video, I will show you why you should refrain from stretching in a sitting posture or in a standing posture, and why lying down is much safer. I will also show you why you should not pull on your neck with your hands. This is a very important video for everybody: share if you care 🔥!! Back pain, neck tension, shoulder strain, or wrist discomfort — most of these are cumulative issues caused by poor posture, inefficient ergonomics, and lack of targeted movement.
