I would say that the major compensation would be tight suboccipitals, the antagonists to the deep neck flexors. However, tight scalenes are often seen with weak deep neck flexors among a large constellation of tight muscles in the neck area.
@@CatalystUniversity yes it seems they get very tight too and cause severe occipital headaches. It also seems plausible that is the deep neck flexors are not working the scalenes help out and stay on too long cause Causing them to get tight. If they are very weak they will need help to flex. Occipitals will get tight but the scalenes and scm will step in ??
@@xpost92 What would you say to someone who has occasional tightness that feels like tetany and the only things that quiet down the spasms is manual massage and drinking Mg Chloride?(!) thanks 🙏
Finally, a good and complete video about these muscles! I was looking for one!
Great content
Kevin! Please cover Cervical, Spondylolisthesis! With accompanying Paresthesia into the whole hand! Intermittent. Could exercise help relieve pain?
Could it be possible that problems with this muscles and neck stiffness cause long term ringing ear in both ears?
I believe this is why I’m in so much pain. 😩
Great. I have a question regarding scalenes. If they are overactive, could that be a compensation due to poor deep neck flexors? Thank you

Anyone else check their posture during this video?
