There are 2 key muscles groups:
Flexors push the head forward to keep it from falling backwards are comprised of the:
Scalenus, Prevertebral and Sternomastoid muscles.
The opposing extensors pull the head backward to prevent it from falling forwards so we arent looking at the group all the time:
Splenus, Semi spinalus and capitis.
These two groups oppose each other so that in a standard posture our head is facing directly forward and not up or down.
