Description

Sit up straight. Place your hand on the side of your head. Turn your head towards your hand while applying resistance to prevent any head movement. Hold this contraction for 5 seconds, then slightly release the tension and gradually increase the head rotation until you feel the first resistance. Repeat the process by contracting again, then releasing and increasing the head rotation.
