Salve, sto traducendo alcuni testi inerenti il settore cosmetici e c'è un sostantivo su cui ho dubbi sulla resa in inglese.
Metto la frase originale con il sostantivo fra virgolette e a seguire e per chiarezza la proposta di traduzione con il sostantivo tradotto fra virgolette:
Applicare su viso, collo e decolleté, lasciare agire per qualche minuto ed
eseguire manualità drenanti, decontratturanti e rilassanti, sul ''tratto cervicale'' e cranio sacrale.
Apply the product to your face, neck and shoulders and leave in place for a few minutes; then carry out drainage, decontracting relaxing massages on your ''spino-cervical'' and craniosacral ''tract'' .

(from the) back of the neck (to the base of the skull)
As these are instructions of where to massage, I think it should be a bit more precise...... with just neck, someone might be massaging the front of their neck if no explanation is given
Example sentence:
"back up the back of the neck to the base of the skull, keeping the hand in constant contact with the body."

neck (area)
They're just using fancy medical terms for effect, and the word "area" isn't really necessary.

Or perhaps to avoid repetition of "collo".
