CHIN TUCK

This exercise targets the deep neck flexors and is used as a cue to maintain neutral cervical spine. The Deep Neck Flexors are at the front of the neck and help with correcting forward head posture which may alleviate pain at the back of the neck or headaches. To do this exercise with good form, keep the forehead in line with the chin so that it is vertical with the ground. You can perform this seated or standing position.

Muscles Involved:

  • Deep Neck Flexors

  • Sternocleidomastoid

  • Scalenes

Related Conditions:

  • Headaches

  • Forward Head Posture

  • Upper Cross Syndrome

  • Text Neck / Nerd Neck

  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)

  • Brachial Plexopathy

  • Cervical Disc Herniation
