Supine Chin Tuck
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Begin by lying face up then perform a chin tuck. The chin tuck is created by pushing the small of your neck in towards the floor. Think about creating a double chin to perform the tuck. Pushing your tongue on the roof of your mouth may make it easier for you to activate the neck muscles.
- FEEL: You will feel the muscle on the front of the neck working with this exercise. You may also feel a stretch in the back of your neck.
- COMPENSATION: Avoid arching or rounding your neck, keep your eyes facing the ceiling throughout this movement.
