Hi doctor,
I have struggled with my SCM muscles for a long time. I have tried strengthening exercises (that have helped on my right side), SCM stretch, self-massage on SCM, changing to a side sleeping position, and working on a better posture.
But still, I struggle with stiffness that radiates to my eye when I press the right SCM. Any advice?
Thank you.

Thank you
