Active-Assisted Retraction

Description

Lie on your back without a pillow under your head, and place one hand under the base of your skull to stabilize your head. Make sure your head, neck, and shoulders are hanging off the edge of the table or your bed. While keeping your hand behind the base of your skull for additional support, slowly retract your head by tucking your chin in as far as possible. Hold this position for one to two seconds, then gently release to return to the starting position. Repeat this movement.
