Reverse pin and stretch for the neck. In this video I'm going to demonstrate reverse pin and stretch for the neck. Reverse pin and stretch simply means you shorten the muscle. Place a cup over it and then slowly stretch the muscle to its maximum resting length. cradle the head with your left hand, turning it slightly to the left. And then with your right hand, suction that cup over the upper trap or levator scapulae.

Get the neck muscles extremely tight, you can soften the neck muscles first with your knuckles and soft fist needing up for the occiput you might have to move down to a smaller size cup as the medium sized cup might be too big. with your left hand, you turn the clients head toward the cup and then laterally flex the neck to the left. hold the stretch for two seconds and then release the company and reapply the cup a little further up the neck And then stretch again for another two seconds. You can perform this up to 10 times. gradually move up the neck until you work all the way up to the posterior neck, just below the mastoid process. Try and avoid leaving a dark Hickey on your clients neck by limiting how long you read the cups on.

The skin on the client's neck is sensitive to the cup and suction. So I'd recommend playing it safe in the beginning by letting the cups linger no longer than 10 seconds. Be mindful to never use the silicone cups over the clients anterior neck. You want to keep your cups lateral to the sternocleidomastoid and not on it.
