The sternocleidomastoid muscle, also known as sternomastoid and comonly abbreviated as SCM, is a paired muscle in the superficial layers of the anterior portion of the neck. It acts to flex and rotate the head.
The sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle allows for flexion of the neck, hyperextends the head, laterally bends the neck and rotates the face to the opposite side. For example: when the right SCM muscle contracts, your neck/head rotates so you are looking over your left shoulder.
