You're Doing Chin Tucks WRONG | Physical Therapist Teaches The Correct Way

Did you know that most people do the simple chin tuck exercise wrong?? The way it's commonly taught doesn't really activate all of the muscles it's supposed to and can cause only one or two segments of the neck to be engaged. Dr. Lin teaches his favorite way to do the chin tuck exercise!

2:42 I injured my neck doing it that way

[missycrystal]

This was super helpful and way less painful than the other chin tucks I was doing. Thank you!

[linhdinh]

I’ve been trying to find the right chin tuck exercise and THIS ONE ACTUALLY WORKS!!! I found out I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time. Thanks for sharing this amazing tip!!!

[yvonnew]

Just got the most distinct activation of neck muscles and between my shoulder blades ...awesome...bye bye forward head posture

[michaelstehlin]

The best fix for posture is habit. Even if u do these exercises and are beneficial of course. Focus on both.

Thank you so much. I was taught the chin tuck method by a PT for my whiplash. I was taught to push back on my chin. Your way is much easier.

[abdidalu]

I’m confused, is this supposed to be an alternative to conventional chin tucks? OR is the tongue and L technique the proper starting position for chin tucks and you just didn’t show the full exercise?

[ekernick]

Yes. Feels much better than the medieval way I was shown.

[caitlin]

Oh this feels so much better. More people need to see this

[gordonnicol]

Can you tell me how many times or for how long each session please? Thanks for what seems to be a lot of help !

[ahmadrafiyuddinmohamed]

How long do u have to do this exercise?

[shahafsagi]

Finally a vidoe that makes sense. So much content out there, never sure what to put my trust in ! :O

[JohnDoe-lzwt]

Would really like to know how many sets to do of these, but I see nobody’s gotten a response lol

[striding]

im so grateful I could kiss you i've been in pain for so long this helped me so much thank you🙏🏻

[thebabies]

Really good method it combines the chin tuck with the other one where you do the side Bend and you can feel the muscles right away I could feel them down to my fingertips

[ReviveNRepair]

Why is almost every single rehab/chiro/physical therapist on Youtube so damn cocky?? Every single one is like "YOU ARE DOING THIS WRONG, ALL OTHER YOUTUBE VIDEOS ARE LYING!!". Can't you be a bit more humble and realistic? Like "if nothing has worked for you so far, you could try this and see if it helps", or something in that direction.

[lucasemenza]

Dr Lin it is ok to feel some discomfort in the vertenral area between the shoulder blades?

[mireille]

How many times or minutes a day. I have a upper cervical fusion. So i need to strenghten all mu small muscles

[homersimpson]

I always see people with good posture doing the chin tucks but how does it look like when someone has forward head and then does chin tucks?
