Occupital??? If it's in the back of your neck on either side, that would be occipital, just under the occiput. So, someone is being the proverbial "pain in the neck" for you - - - - - but I digress - - - -
Yes, I do use some massage techniques on myself. I will use rollers to do back and leg stretching, direct work on my calves (gastrocs). I have recently added a small ultrasound unit- (the warming one, not the imaging one). I've also added a percussion massager. I deliberately sought the one with the shortest stroke: it doesn't really need a long stroke to be effective. I'll use that on my forearms when I do massage too long each day. (I'm in nearly year #30 doing Massage Therapy).
