Extraordinary combination of exercises.

[@ginny177]

I have an oculo-cervical problems..this is an amazing exercise. Can you suggest some more? Deep flexors are very very tricky

[@aryansalgotra6451]

We really understand yours spoke word to word once again you're fabulous Sir

[@ksharp6694]

Such a great and tuff exercise. Thank you

[@madandeepanshu]

Is it useful in Rhomboid pain with forward head posture when stretching exercises aren't working well?

[@brandon-pu5vd]

Thank you! This is fantastic! Love it

[@miguelgranberri5910]

Hello Brent :) I have some questions :
In which cases whould recommend this exercises ?
Why the combination of the deep cervical flexor and external rotator is beneficial ?

[@sunsunsunh]

Do it if you have protracted head, winged scapula, or upper crossed syndrome

[@michaelaburgmueller1873]

Does this help for overactive SCM and scalenes?

[@sunsunsunh]

yes, both scm and scalenes will compensate for weak deep neck flexors so you want them strong

[@BC-tw6vv]

Very nice videos.

[@clarissasmirnov4835]

This is brilliant!

[@malka7777]

I do not like that the band puts apressure on the e C 7 area it pishes actually the s.p of the c7 towered anterior. I dont believe in resistence that involves the direct pressure on the cervical vertebra which are so small actually. I agree with the explanation.

[@ginny177]

there is no problem to put a scarf or something on your skin of the neck. or a slightly put it higher I think...no compressing....you just need a smooth chin tuck to activate deep flexors not massive chin tuck to activate usually tight SCM

[@truth2478]

I will try this

[@mohammedalmosawe7672]

hi doc can u talk about how to fix rounded shoulder

[@aryansalgotra6451]

You're Awesome Sir

[@Twghost]

why are we protracting in this particular exercise again? what are we looking to activate?

[@sunsunsunh]

If done properly without winging the scapulas nor elevating them, you will activate mainly the serratus anterior among many others

brillant
