WALL LEAN CHIN TUCK

This is a strengthening exercise for the deep neck flexors. Start by placing a yoga block sandwiched between your head and a wall while in a half squat position. Keep the cervical spine neutral by holding a chin tuck (or double chin position). Be sure to keep the hips directly below the head during this exercise. Hold this position for 5-10 seconds or as tolerated and rest for an equal amount of time before starting your next repetition.
