Anatomy Trains Structural Integration
Published in David Lesondak, Angeli Maun Akey, Fascia, Function, and Medical Applications, 2020
Treatment focus and aims: The main areas still under tension were the shoulders, with an anterior tilt/superior shift. The head was held in a right tilt and the thoracic spine in an anterior bend.Sessions 9 and 10—worked with retesting assessments. Increased adaptability in the left foot and maintained spinal length and thoracic extension in gait.Arm lines—medial rotation of left scapula, and anterior tilt on both scapulas; pec minor, subscapularis, and serratus anterior were all treated.Obliquus capitis superior for the right tilt of the occiput relative to C1/C2.

Obliquus capitis superior muscle: The obliquus capitis superior muscle, along with its counterpart, the obliquus capitis inferior muscle, as well as the rectus capitis posterior major and minor muscles, are important in posture, and may function as kinesiological monitors, or organs of proprioception, for head position. The obliquus capitis superior muscle extends and laterally bends the atlanto-occipital joint.
Dry needling as a novel intervention for cervicogenic somatosensory tinnitus: a case study

The physical examination (PE) was conducted by a physical therapist with 20 years of experience, certified in spinal manipulation and dry needling. Additionally, the therapist was a fellow-in-training in an accredited manual physical therapy fellowship program. The patient demonstrated full cervical AROM, and cervical myotome, dermatome, and cranial nerve screening were negative. While palpation of the cervical paraspinals, upper trapezius, splenius capitis, semispinalis capitis, obliquus capitis superior, obliquus capitis inferior, rectus capitis posterior major and rectus capitis posterior minor muscles seemed to provoke the patient’s headache and tinnitus, the sternocleidomastoid, masseter, temporalis, and frontalis muscles did not. Additionally, she did not present with temporomandibular joint pain or increased tinnitus with active jaw movement. The patient reported occasional, diffuse pain in the posterior occipital region, but she was not tender to palpation in that region during the PE. Although the patient presented with lower cervical and upper thoracic pain, palpation and passive joint mobility testing of the lower cervical and upper thoracic region had no effect on her headache or tinnitus symptoms.
