Scalene muscle dysfunction causes neck pain, headaches, migraines, head pain, TMJ pain, whole jaw pain, rib pain, and shoulder pain. The shape of the cervical spine is in-part determined by the health of the scalene muscles. Know this: it is only with gentle and consistent self-love—in the form of neck therapy, stretches, and breathing—that these muscles will take on a new shape, holding onto less tone and tension.

Understanding the function of the scalene muscles is vital to understanding your neck and jaw pain. It can also be vital in understanding your upper thoracic spine pain, rib pain, and shoulder pain.

You can turn to Ayurveda to understand your reactions, your current state of health and wellness, and how, moving into the rest of your year, you can slowly but dynamically improve your health. Ayurveda is a pattern, a predictable way to see the body and understand your reactions to everything.
