Roll Ball Side Lying Scalene Muscles Activation
Lying on the side with the side of the neck resting on a massage ball set on a block, the head's weight sinks into it and the deep muscles at the side of the neck let go.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on one side, a massage ball on a low block under the side of the neck, legs long, the top hand on the floor in front.
Steps
- Let the head's weight settle onto the ball.
- Nudge the ball a finger's width at a time along the side of the neck.
- Breathe slowly on each spot, then turn over and do the other side.
Common mistakes
Pressing the throat onto the ball: keep it on the side of the neck, behind the big front muscle. Forcing through tingling in the arm: move the ball or stop. Holding the breath: breathe slowly so the neck can let go.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
