Rectus Capitis Posterior Major 101: Function, Palpation & Treatment

In this week’s #muscleoftheweek we have Rectus Capitis Posterior Major muscle. This muscle is very deep in the neck in the group called the suboccipital muscle groups. If you have ever had a tension headache, or even worse a nasty migraine, this could very likely be the culprit of it! This muscle tends to get very beat up and overused in people that spend a lot of time working on devices, looking down, and a lot of screen time. When this happens the muscles develop a lot of scar tissue. Scar tissue is like glue in the muscle that makes the muscles weaker and less flexible, which can lead to tension, headaches, and overall neck pain and stiffness. Here’s the thing… Scar tissue is a major problem leading to a majority of injuries and pain, the best part is that it is completely fixable with expert evaluation and treatment. The best in the world at finding and fixing scar tissue is #ThePeakMethod trained soft tissue specialists.
