the chin to the chest.

Lesser-stretched muscles: Longissimus capitis, semispinalis
capitis, splenius capitis, scalene.
Commentary
You can do this stretch either while sitting or
while standing. A greater stretch is applied when seated. Standing reduces the
ability to stretch because reflexes come into play to prevent a loss of
balance. During the stretch, make sure not to reduce the stretch by hunching up
the shoulders. Also, keep the neck as straight as possible (no curving). Try to
touch the chin to the lowest possible point on the chest.
