What should I notice before and after?+
Baseline movement
Repeat the check neck movement once before pressure, then use that exact movement for the retest.
- Slowly turn your head side to side to assess the tightness in your neck.
Interpretation
- Use the check neck movement as the before-and-after reference. If it feels easier, remember the responsive point and finish or repeat as written above.
- If the bilateral neck pain relief feels unchanged, search only within the marked area for a clearer sore, tingling, full, or tender point.
Release the point, repeat the check neck movement once, and compare it with the starting movement.
