@regeneration88: ❌ Area 1: Carotid Sinus Located along the front border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the side of the neck. This area contains pressure receptors called baroreceptors. Excessive stimulation may cause: • Dizziness • Decreased heart rate • Lower blood pressure • Lightheadedness or fainting Extra caution is recommended for: • Older adults • Individuals with atherosclerosis • Individuals with carotid artery plaque ⸻ ❌ Area 2: Thyroid Region Located approximately 2 cm below the Adam’s apple. The thyroid is an important endocrine gland that helps regulate metabolism and hormone balance. During neck relaxation work, the goal is typically to release the surrounding muscles—not to apply deep pressure directly over the thyroid gland. Safety is always more important than pressure. #NeckMassage #MassageSafety #CarotidSinus #ThyroidHealth #AnatomyEducation
