Dr. Rowe demonstrates 4 easy neck exercises to help strengthen neck muscles, improve posture, and build stability in the cervical spine.
These exercises are paired perfectly with these neck stretches.
Isometric cervical rotation:
Sit in a chair with your back supported and your head in the neutral position. Place your hand on the side of your right forehead. Turn
your head towards your right shoulder as hard as you are able, while firmly resisting any movement of your head with your hand. Push for 10 seconds, relax, and repeat 3 times. Switch to the left side and repeat.
Isometric Sidebending:
Do the same by bending your neck to either side, again pushing as hard as you can against the resistance of your hand that is placed against the side of your head. Push for 10 seconds, relax, and repeat three times.
Isometric Flexion & Extension:
Place your hand across your forehead. Push your head and neck forward as hard as you are able while firmly resisting any movement of your head with your hand. Push for 10 seconds, then relax, and repeat three times.
Similarly, place your hand against the back of your head as you try to push your head backward against the resistance of your hand. Push as hard as you are able for 10 seconds, relax, and repeat three times.
