Back of Head: Pain Patterns, Causes, Self-Care

This is a collection of posts about trigger points that refer into the back of the head.

Remember that people usually feel only a portion of the pattern. Also, people usually feel the portion in the darkest red but some only complain about the areas in lighter red.

These posts include:

  • Trigger point patterns and how people describe the pain
  • How do you activate and intensify the pain pattern
  • Self-care to show you how to get quick relief on your own
  • Stretches and exercises that provide longer-lasting relief
  • Brief anatomy review of the involved muscle
  • Yoga poses that open this muscle
  • Treatment notes for therapists

Note that we are in the process of converting these posts into a more informative and accessible format. Thank you for your patience.

This website is being revised, and some posts have not yet been converted to newer images and formats.
