EVER FEEL A HEADACHE START AT THE BASE OF YOUR SKULL AND TRAVEL UP? 👀
🔎 The suboccipital muscles are a small group of muscles at the base of your skull that help control head and neck position.
When they become overworked or stay tense, they can contribute to discomfort around the base of the skull and headaches.
Chin tucks gently activate the deep neck muscles while helping reduce excessive forward positioning of the head. This can reduce the workload on the suboccipitals, and help decrease tension headaches.
