Thank you for your question and for watching. There is a set of capital flexor muscles on each side of the skull, the goal would be to palpate both sides at the same time. They can be very difficult to palpate due to the significant amount of other muscle and soft tissue. Because the transverse processes of C2 are relatively easy to find, a good choice would be to find those landmarks on either side and then slide a little anterior and superior to palpate the rectus capitas muscles. Note them on the diagram here: learnmuscles.com/glossary/prevertebral-group/ Hope that is helpful!
