The SCM (Sternocleidomastoid) Muscle is one of the most overlooked muscles — until it starts causing problems you can’t ignore. This powerful neck muscle runs from your sternum clavicle all the way up to the mastoid bone behind your ear. It controls neck rotation, side bending, flexion, and even helps with breathing when your body is under stress. When the SCM gets tight or overloaded, you may feel: • Neck stiffness • Reduced rotation while driving or working • Tension headaches in the forehead
