Hi, welcome back to Expert Village. So once we have applied effleurage. What we are going
to do is we are going to focus on the individual muscles that kind of keep the neck elevated.
So I just want to show you what kind the muscles are. You have your levator scapula. That is
mainly connected to your shoulders and neck. It's all along here. Okay. It's probably one
of the tensest muscles you have because that's the muscle that keeps your neck elevated.
Okay. Now, you have your sternum mastoid, which is in the front, which if, a lot of
people know, this is your sternum and it goes up to the muscle in your cheek that's call
the mastoid. Okay. Then you have your upper trapezius, which is in the very back muscle
here then a muscle in your back. Then you have a point, which is also a muscle, but
it's really a point in the back of your neck, the base of your neck called the Occipital.
It's the very base of the neck where the spine and the skull kind of meet. The spine goes
into the skull. And then you have what is called a spleen. Now I'm going to talk about
that one and the levator scapula together. But it's right, like maybe underneath the
levator scapulae, right there. Most headaches are formed because of this muscle right here.
It's so tight, okay, that the best thing to do is kind of just pull the levator scapulae
up and go into the neck. So those are the main muscles of the neck.
