The SCM (Sternocleidomastoid) Muscle is one of the most overlooked muscles — until it starts causing problems you can’t ignore. This powerful neck muscle runs from your sternum clavicle all the way up to the mastoid bone behind your ear.

When the SCM gets tight or overloaded, you may feel: • Neck stiffness • Reduced rotation while driving or working • Tension headaches in the forehead

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
