SCM is the prominent muscle running from your sternum and clavicle to your skull. When your head shifts forward relative to your shoulders and your cervical spine extends to keep your eyes level, this muscle adapts by maintaining a contracted state to support the increased leverage demands. Your nervous system interprets this chronic tension as normal, making the muscle resistant to simple stretching. Over time, this creates trigger points and may refer pain to your temples, behind your eyes, an

Your Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) is the beast of your neck: connecting your skull to your sternum and collarbones, it plays a key role in posture and breathing. When used correctly, it helps expand your ribcage for deeper, more efficient breaths. But when locked in dysfunction, it pulls your head forward, creating strain and imbalance. A lot of headaches happen due to a discrepancy of weight distribution held too tight by the neck extensors along its backside. That pattern is holding what should b

The Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle has two heads—sternal and clavicular—that contribute to different tension lines depending on the direction of movement and posture. Here are the typical tension lines: 1. Sternal Head: • Tension tends to run vertically along the neck from the sternum (manubrium) up to the mastoid process behind the ear. • Activities like forward head posture or excessive neck flexion can increase tension along this line. 2. Clavicular Head: • The tension follows a more obliqu
