Instructions
Preparation
- Lie supine on a mat.
Execution
- Push head into mat and hold position. Relax and repeat.
Comments
- This exercise may be prescribed for functional forward head posture since it strengthens the Splenius without neck flexion. The stretch that occores during complete neck flexion, may exaberate the foward head pusture, particularly if neck flexion is held under a load. Neck flexion normally occurs at the end of the eccentric portion of dynamic Splenius exercises.
