Then nod the chin down and up. This will strengthen the deep neck flexor muscles that help stabilize the cervical spine. You can add resistance by pushing the chin into your fist while in the up\/down directions.<\/h4>\n
EXERCISE #5<\/strong> Neck Stretch: With the left hand, reach over the side of the head. Pull the right side of the head\/neck sideways to the left first while looking upward (pull sideways and back). Then slowly rotate the head left and right feeling for the stretch in the front and side of the neck. Alternative: with the same set-up, drop the head forward (in flexion, pull sideways and forward) while slowly rotating the head left and right. Feel for the stretch in the back and side of the neck.<\/h4>\n
