If you have pain in the back of your head, first, check upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid
(SCM) for trigger points.

And, check semispinalis capitis. However, the
location of the trigger point is different. It’s lower (indicated in the blue circle) than those for the
temple headache.

I recommend you also see if the splenius cervicis and
the suboccipitals have any trigger
points.
