Cervical Retraction & Extension in Lying Position

Description

Lie down on your back in such a way that your head, neck, and shoulders are positioned beyond the edge of the table. Place one hand under the occiput to ensure the stability and safety of your head. Start by fully retracting your head by tucking your chin in as far as possible. Once maximum retraction is achieved, continue the movement slowly by gradually tilting your head back until you reach the end of the extension movement. Hold this position for one to two seconds, then, using the hand under the occiput, gently bring the head back to the neutral position.
