×
WARNING!!! Please do not perform any of these exercises unless they have been prescribed to you by one of our doctors. When performed correctly, none of these exercises should cause any pain. If you experience any pain or discomfort during or after any exercise, stop immediately and let us know.
Purpose:
Improve posture, spinal stability, range of motion, and decrease pain and stiffness.
Where to Feel it:
In your neck muscles and core.
Description:
- Come onto the floor on your hands and knees, with the knees directly below the hips and arms directly below the shoulders.
- Maintain “Spinal Ready Position" (#104), if you have been instructed to do so. If not, just keep the back stable and the core engaged.
- Bring the head directly back into a chin tuck as if you were trying to make a double chin. Your head and neck should now be parallel to the floor.
- For greater challenge, maintain this chin tuck as you press gently, in various positions on your head, with your hand. Use your neck muscles to resist the challenges, holding your head and neck perfectly still throughout the entire exercise.
- Remember to always keep breathing!
