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: |
|
|
| 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.
