Chin Tuck Tower Lean
CHIN TUCK TOWER LEAN
This is an advanced version of the chin tuck that challenges the deep neck flexor muscles against a lateral force in an isometric contraction. This exercise helps to promote muscular endurance in the frontal plane. Keep the chin tucked to put the cervical spine in a neutral position, then lean to the side with your head against a stability ball that is placed at head height against the wall. You can increase the difficulty of this exercise by simply standing further away from the wall.
