“Lewit and Simons (1984) mention that: • Postisometric relaxation of the suboccipital muscles will also relax the sternocleidomastoid muscles • Treatment of the thoracolumbar muscles induces relaxation of iliopsoas, and vice versa • Treatment (MET) of the sternocleidomastoid and scalene muscles relaxes the pectorals.”
