Seated Chin Tuck - Overpressure
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
HOW: Start in an upright seated position. Begin with a chin tuck by pushing your head backwards over your shoulders using the deep neck muscles. From here, place one hand on your chin and the other on the back of your head. Push into your chin gently creating a bit more range of motion for your neck to go backwards.
FEEL: You should feel the deep neck muscles working.
COMPENSATION: Don’t allow motion in your shoulders or upper body, only in your head and neck
