Great interview for you today on cervical neck exercises.
Well, specifically Josh Henkin’s experience on what he did to overcome his cervical neck fusion.
Let me give you a bit of a background on how this interview happened.
As you know, I am big into using exercise to overcome injuries.
Of late, I have had a lot of questions when it comes to the neck.
I was on Facebook and I saw a leader in the fitness industry that had neck surgery and was doing some crazy exercises.
I contacted him to see what he did to overcome his neck surgery.
Josh and I did an interview called:

Today is a neck rehab exercise.
Start
|
End
|
|
| Purpose: |
To maintain and improve the range of motion in the neck and also to inform the body that it is safe to rotate the neck. |
| Starting Position: |
In a sitting position with your upper body and neck in good alignment. Hands are resting on your thighs in order to take the load off of your shoulders and neck. |
| How to Do the Exercise: |
- In a slow and controlled manner, rotate the head to one side.
- Rotate to a point where you feel resistance but are still pain free.
- Hold the end position for 2 seconds.
- Rotate back to the start.
- Then rotate to the other side.
- Perform this exercise 5 times on each side.
|
| Progressions: |
You can progress the exercise by performing the movement against resistance. For example against resistive tubing. |
| Contraindication & Common Mistakes: |
Too strong of a stretch – more is not better. If you have too strong of a stretch, you increase the risk of irritation. The stretch should be light.
Too fast of a movement – This could lead to tightening up of the muscles in order for the body to guard or protect the neck.
