Suboccipital Myofascial Release Technique in Young Adults

With the patient in a supine position, the therapist sits behind the patient with his or her forearms on the treatment table. The therapist places his fingers between the occiput and axis, with his fingers in semi-flexion (2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers), and continues to hold his hands on the occiput until relaxation is achieved in the suboccipital muscles. A light traction is applied at the end of the technique. Average application time is 4-5 minutes.
