An anatomical structure that is far more clinically relevant than many realise.

Myo = muscle
Dural = dura mater, the protective membrane surrounding the spinal cord
This bridge represents a direct anatomical connection between the rectus capitis posterior minor muscle and the dura mater of the spinal cord, occurring in the spaces between the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), and between the atlas and the occiput.
Importantly, this region is one of the very few places in the body where the spinal cord is not fully protected by bone.t all begins with an idea.

IThe equine cervical spine is far more than a simple column of bonesโit's the springboard of suspension, balance, and communication for the entire horse.
Through this delicate region run essential pathways: neurology, vascularity, fascia, meninges, viscera, and the powerful chains of muscles that link the head to the body.
Now imagine a restriction at the base of the neck, for example around C6/C7.
Such a dysfunction doesnโt just stay local. It will immediately compromise the first rib and the cranial thoracic area. This creates a cascade of compensationsโneurological excitation within the stellate ganglion, disturbed feed-and-feedback loops of sensory and motor information, and a whole-body burden of adaptation to the cranium and throughout to the sacrum.
