SUPINE CHIN TUCK

This exercise targets the deep neck flexors and aims to increase both strength and endurance of these muscles. The Deep Neck Flexors are at the front of the neck and help with correcting forward head posture which may alleviate pain at the back of the neck or headaches. To do this exercise with good form, keep the forehead in line with the chin so that it is parallel with the ground. You can perform this off the edge of your bed or on the floor (just raise the head slightly off the floor).
