Exercises - neck flexing / extending
These exercises can be termed chin ups and chin downs.
Chin up
With shoulders and arms relaxed, look straight ahead and slowly raise
your chin so that you finish looking up at the ceiling directly above you.
Hold this for three seconds then slowly bring the head back into the
facing forward position. Rest for three seconds.
Chin down
Now slowly bring the chin down to the chest so that you end up pushing against the upper end of your breast-bone and hold for a count of three.
Now slowly bring the chin back into the face-forward position and rest for three seconds. Repeat this whole exercise three times.
It is important for those of you aged over 40 to perform these movements slowly and gracefully as rapid movements of the head might cause dizziness.
Only do these exercises whilst sitting.
