Subokzipitalregion: Entwicklung, Muskulatur und myodurale Brücken

With regard to the structure-function principle, it is essential for osteopaths to know the exact anatomy and functioning of the human body. It seems increasingly difficult to keep up to date with relevant information in view of the rapidly growing mass of research results. The suboccipital region (SOR) is of great interest for local complaints as well as for influencing whole body physiology and compensatory mechanisms in the field of osteopathy. The following article describes recent findings regarding research in the field of muscular, biomechanical, vascular and neurological structures and functions of the SOR.
