Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scalene muscles are a group of three muscles situated in the neck. To effectively stretch the left scalene muscles, the patient should axially extend their neck, side bend to the right, and rotate to the left. This position will lengthen and stretch the left scalene muscles, helping to relieve any tension or discomfort in the area. Option B and C involve rotating the head in the opposite direction or using the left hand, which may not effectively stretch the left scalene muscles. Option D involves tucking in the chin and nodding the head, which is not a recommended stretch for the scalene muscles.
