Mobility: "Head Tilt"
Directions: Perform my
Dynamic Warm-Up
exercises at “beginning” of workout for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your
body!
OBJECTIVE: Open up vertebrae & muscles in neck.
-
Stand upright and “tall” with good posture.
-
Tilt head straight to one side and directly over one shoulder.
-
Pause briefly then alternate the opposite direction.
-
Perform 5-10 reps on each side.
-
Do NOT compensate by shrugging your shoulders!
Tips: Make sure you tilt head straight off to each
side without shrugging the shoulder to compensate for a tight neck. Don't
force by "pulling" with hands--just use weight of head and let it go over.
-
Yet another simple exercise that people struggle with because they are so locked up. Think--this is for mobility of the "neck" and NOT the shoulders. Put the movement in your neck only even if it's only a little.
-
Other Neck Mobility exercises I use successfully are Head Turn and Head 1/2 Roll.

*Note:
This exercise is intended for "normal healthy"
individuals. If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical
therapist before continuing your exercises.
