BENEFITS OF THE CHIN TUCK EXERCISE:

The chin tuck exercise is a valuable part of physical therapy for neck muscle, joint, and bone rehabilitation. It serves to enhance the strength, tone, and flexibility of your neck muscles. Additionally, it contributes to greater flexibility in the ligaments surrounding the neck joints, enabling them to better withstand stress.

Poor posture often results in the head and shoulders leaning forward, leading to certain chest and neck muscles becoming tight and shortened over time. This can contribute to neck pain and sustain poor posture. Engaging in neck stretching exercises like the chin tuck can help relax these postural muscles, potentially reducing neck discomfort and promoting better posture.
