Purpose:
To strengthen deep neck flexors and improve cervical spine alignment and postural control.
Description:
Lie face down with arms at your sides and a towel or mat under your forehead. Gently tuck your chin to create a double chin, then lift your chest slightly off the floor while keeping your face parallel to the ground. Hold briefly, then lower with control.
Equipment:
Towel or mat
Tips:
Avoid looking up—keep eyes on the floor. Engage your core to support the lift.
