NECK PAIN OR HEADACHES? SUBOCCIPITAL MUSCLES & OAA COMPLEX [MANUAL MOBILIZATION OF THE SUBOCCIPITAL REGION & OAA-COMPLEX] From my previous posts you know that the suboccipital area is very prone to get stiff and immobile, when the upper cervical spine can't rotate properly, that motion get picked up by the lower cervical spine, which we want to be actually more stable. That’s why it is very important for me as a therapist to always check this important area and to mobilize it if I feel any restrictions. Releasing some of this tissue can directly affect and relieve your headaches or neck pain without the use of any medicine! After releasing the suboccipital area from adhesions, tension and trigger points I usually use a manual mobilization technique for the upper cervical spine to flexion, this technique is very effective especially if your patient is suffering from forward head posture.
