Combined Extension & Retraction Mobilization

Description

Sit comfortably and start by slowly retracting your head by tucking in your chin, making sure to keep your face straight. You can use a hand to gently press on your chin to intensify the retraction. Once you have reached the end of the retraction, continue the movement by gradually tilting your head back, as if you wanted to look at the sky. Hold this position for a second before gently returning to the neutral position, head straight. If you are new to this exercise, place a hand behind your head and neck for additional support and better stability. Repeat the exercise according to the instructions of your physical therapist.
