I periodically get neck and right shoulder tension. My massage therapist will put her knuckles up near the base of my skull and my chin gets pushed upwards, she will every so gentle rub the space between the skull and spine. I asked her about it and she told me there is a disc up in there (she showed me on the skeleton) that gets compressed. A certified massage therapist could help.

I like to lie on my bed on my back, with my head hanging over the edge of the bed... I line up the bottom of my skull with the edge of the bed and let my head hang. I will slowly move my head back and forth and let it hang for a few minutes again. Sometimes I get a crack sensation and I feel a lot of tension leave.

I have been told that there are theories that the base of the skull holds spiritual energy and tension there needs to be released for spiritual fullfillment.
