Refers to the muscles in the nape area. Typically located beneath the skin at the back of the neck, these muscles are triangular in shape. They connect the shoulder girdle bones with the base of the skull and vertebrae, serving as a suspension for the shoulder girdle. During movement, they can elevate the scapula. These muscles often experience spasms and tension, especially during sleep when neck posture is incorrect, leading to the formation of spastic nodules and resulting pain.
