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.
