C2-T2 posterior cervical spine fusion with posterior spinal instrument

@nike05 I learned a lot of the Myofascial Release techniques from my physical therapist, so I do this as much as I can to self treat. I've also done this on my ankle to help with scar tissue from a bad fracture and the surgeries that went with that. One side is weaker because of the injury and the stronger side wears out the weak side. It's been like living with a sprain all the time, and I've been working on equalizing the tension on each side of ankle to reduce the pressure on the weaker side and relieve the muscle knots in the calf. That helps a lot.
You might want to look at the discussion on Myofascial Release. There are a lot of links with information in the first pages.

The more I am on the keyboard typing with my arms forward, the more it bothers me. The best thing I can do is walking or riding my horse with good posture which works on core strength that supports the spine. The muscles on the front of the chest get too tight, so I do stretching with a foam roller. I also get one half of the chest that gets too tight with tightness in the side of the rib cage, so I kind of side bend and twist a little and hold it to stretch that. It tends to affect my breathing when my lungs don't expand enough on that side and can lead to repeated chest infections that start from sinus issues. If I keep it moving better, it doesn't start trapping phlegm. I have allergies and asthma.

I can imagine how exhausting that must be sometimes, especially when you have to keep doing certain stretches just to feel some sense of normalness and thank you for the link anything more to help is appreciated! Thats awesome you have a horse He/she is beautiful! Must be extremely comforting, I get that tightness too but to my entire upper chest and the sides of my ribs but only when I do too much, I've tried the roller too, I'm just right now working on getting the swelling down. I have issues with typing as well so I adjusted everything different higher and closer it helps a little, I don't know if you like topicals, I found one that's awesome it's called Mend it is super strong and helps with muscle pain, you can only find these in a dispensary but its so strong it to me worth it.
