3 MONTH PRONE NECK ROTATION

This is advanced version of the 3 MONTH PRONE exercise. This exercise adds in an element of cervical rotation to dissociate movement at the cervical spine from the thoracic spine. Start in a 3 MONTH PRONE position and rotate the head side to side without losing the scapular protraction and neutral thoracic spine.

Muscles Involved:

  • Serratus Anterior

  • Sternocleidomastoid

  • Scalenes

Related Conditions:

  • Neck Associated Disorder

  • Whiplash Associated Disorder

  • Rib Joint Pain

  • Chronic Neck Pain

  • Cervicogenic Headaches
