BENEFITS OF NECK FLEXION STRETCH:

Neck flexion stretch is an important component of physical therapy for the rehabilitation of neck muscles, joints, and bones. It is designed to enhance the strength, tone, and flexibility of your neck muscles. Additionally, it helps increase the flexibility of the ligaments around the neck joints, making them more capable of withstanding stress.

Poor posture often causes the head and shoulders to lean forward, leading to certain chest and neck muscles becoming tight and shortened over time. This can contribute to neck pain and maintain poor posture. Engaging in neck stretching exercises like neck flexion can help relax these postural muscles, potentially reducing neck discomfort and encouraging better posture.
