Theracane Self massage Tool

The theracane self massage tool is a must have at my office. I love the diversity in it’s use, portability, and accessibility. Anyone can use this tool and you can bring it with you anywhere. There are a few different kinds but this type is my favorite.

Shoulder and neck pain is common in todays world. So many people have tension headaches, TMJ issues, tight pecs, and more. All of which play a huge role in your quality of life.  This theracane tool allows you to reach areas that would otherwise be impossible. 

When dealing with headaches for example, a lot of it comes down to neck and shoulder tension. You can get a good amount of this tension out on your own by focusing on a few key areas:

• Levator
• Rhomboids
• SCM muscle in the neck
• and of course the traps

Some other areas that may need some attention are your Semispinalis Capitis and Splenius Capitis. These muscles are what gets tight in the back of your neck. That hard to reach place that you dig your fingers into. Well that Theracane tool can get that spot with minimal effort from you. 

Of course everyone is different and while some of this may apply to you we still recommend you visit your Doctor. If it is a soft tissue issue (muscle, fascia, tendon, etc.) then a massage therapst, manual therapist, or even chiropractor can help!
