Seated Neck Flexion to Extension on Chair
Seated, nod the chin down to the chest, then look up; the back and front of the neck lengthen in turn.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a chair, feet flat, hands on the thighs.
Steps
- Lower the chin toward the chest until the neck stretches.
- Look up only as far as is comfortable.
- Keep moving slowly between the two ends.
Common mistakes
Throwing the head back: tip it up slowly. Rounding the back to drop the chin lower: only the neck moves. Carrying on when dizzy: stop and make the next ones smaller.
Breathing
Exhale lowering the chin, inhale looking up.
