This chapter began with a review of the anatomy of the head and neck region and gave detailed directions on how to locate various bony landmarks and structures. The range of motion and manual muscle tests for the region were covered so that any abnormalities can be noted. Next, the chapter discussed the last piece of general information for the region: the trigger-point locations for the various muscles in the area. Once the baseline information for the region is obtained, the therapist can begin treatment. Thus, the chapter concluded with a detailed explanation of specific conditions and how to assess and treat them.
