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
