Seated Cervical Retraction with Rotation Repeated
Directions: While sitting or standing, pull your chin back as if making a "double chin" and turn as far as you can while maintaining the retracted position, making sure to get to end-range. Your opposite hand can be used to provide some overpressure. Repeat as indicated by your prescribing therapist. This exercise requires adherence to the "Stoplight System."
Green: Motion or pain is improving with each repetition.
Yellow: Amount of motion before pain occurs, pain intensity, centralization of symptoms, pain that can be "walked off," or pain that disappears with return to starting position improves with each repetition.
Red: Pain begins to peripheralize and stays peripheralized or pain that is increased with performance and cannot be "walked off." - STOP EXERCISE
