Neck Flexor Stretch
Technique

upright. Interlock hands and place the palms on the forehead. Pull the head
back so that the nose points straight up to the ceiling.
Muscles
Stretched
Most-stretched muscle: Sternocleidomastoid.
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, try to point the chin as far back as possible.
