Top 3 Forward Head Posture Correction Exercises

Fix that forward head!
-
The exercises in todays video help correct forward head posture.
-
They are shown easiest to hardest.
-
DO NOT attempt the more advanced variations until at least 2 weeks of doing the easier exercises.
-
Here’s some specific stuff to keep in mind.
-
1) Chin tucks. Hold these isometrically (no motion involved). These are the easiest of the 3 versions.
-
2) Banded cervical retractions. These involve more motion, but the idea is the same. Keep the tongue in the rough of the mouth and push the head back flattening the neck.
-
3) Neck plank. These are the hardest and you must have a lot of strength just to do them. Hold isometrically keeping just the back of the head on the ball and also keeping the neck as straight as possible.
-
If the ball pushes your head into forward flexion towards your chest then you are not strong enough to do it yet!

Love this - just curious, though...do you release your SCM muscles first? I'm always worried with these exercises that I'll recruit SCMs rather than deep neck flexors! Thanks!

Why do neck planks give me extremely bad head ache after?

I head neck planks arent good and can tear the neck up.
