Treatment techniques for MS with high spasticity and pain, neck esp.

Hello!  Looking for input from other licensed therapists as to good techniques for loosening up spastic muscles and especially for releasing a very painful muscle in the neck which is "pulling" him over to the right. The pain runs up the neck and into the skull. Had done several sessions and cannot seem to bring him any considerable relief.

Where does he feel the pain? When you palpate the neck, is the pain one sided? Where exactly, when you palpate the neck, is the pain? Even if I know those answers, with out actually being there myself, it’s nearly impossible to tell somebody what to do. Is he wheelchair bound? Does he flinch when you touch a painful area or?
Another option, perhaps better, would be to explore YouTube.
