The suboccipital muscles are a group of four paired muscles that are positioned deep in the suboccipital region of the neck. They are found at the base of the occipital bone, hence their name. Most of these muscles are attached to the occipital bone at the inferior nuchal line.💡 The suboccipital muscle group includes the following muscles: 🔸Rectus capitis posterior major 🔸Rectus capitis posterior minor 🔸Obliquus capitis superior 🔸Obliquus capitis inferior All these muscles provide postural

Treatment of adhesion in the suboccipital muscles. Adhesion in these muscles can cause headaches, poor posture, and neck pain. | Novo Soft Tissue

The suboccipital muscles may be small, but they play a powerful role in head posture, movement, and proprioception. Positioned within the suboccipital triangle, these muscles support extension, rotation, and stability at the craniovertebral junction. 📽️ This video is part of the Exploring Anatomy Programme on Physiopedia Plus, designed to deepen your understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy through expert-led instruction and high-quality visuals.] 🔗 Start learning today https://members.physio-
