NECK RETRACTION EXERCISES
I teach patients this exercise so much that I decided to make a short tutorial video to send ahead of time and for patients to have at home for review. The retraction routine has a lot of benefits:
- improve sagittal alignment away from forward head posture
- decompresses chronic lower cervical facet pain
- sends proprioceptive information to the cerebellum to help in patients with chronic vertigo
- maintains and improves cervical ranges of motion
