on palpation, straight neck was observed, and neck muscle tension was strong.

treatment

trigger point therapy for the muscles around the occipital bone attachment area

1) trapezius muscle
2) semispinalis capitis muscle
3) splenius capitis muscle
the treatment focused on these occipital bone attachment areas.

1st to 3rd treatment: no change. feeling dull after the treatment.
4th to 6th treatment: there were days when she could go a week without taking medicine.

as the muscle tension in the surface layer was getting relieved, i started to approach the suboccipital muscle group that exists in the deepest part of the occipital region.

7th treatment: symptoms wavered but got much better.
8th treatment: she noticed that she had not taken any medication recently.

after a few more treatments, the symptoms seemed to disappear.
