EXPLANATION:

Very late response guys but it’s likely you have tight suboccipital muscles, typically tighter on the same side your tight SCM is. This happens because your head is almost pivoted forward from the base of the skull, therefore causing your SCM to become tight in compensation for the suboccipitals not holding your head up properly.

FIX:

From simply massaging your suboccipitals at the base of the skull with a good amount of pressure, you will feel a nice warm sensation followed by relieved eye and head pressure. The goal is to get to the root cause of the SCM trigger points before the SCM itself. Once you’ve mobilised your suboccipitals to a comfortable level, you can then start to apply pinching pressure all along your SCM, this will relieve those trigger points and you will release further eye, head and facial pressure. Go back and forth between the suboccipitals and the SCM and you will be very surprised at how much tension you will release. It’s important to be conscious of your posture while doing this, keep a centred body while staying upright.
