This is a drill to assist the cervical flexion pattern in the standing position.
Set Up: Stand tall looking forward. The narrower the feet are, the greater the challenge. You may need to begin with the feet shoulder-width apart and progress to a more narrow stance. Throughout the exercises concentrate on staying as tall as possible. Hold the band in each hand.
Action: Raise your arms to chest height and pull arms apart to form a "T" position. Maintaining arm position, flex the cervical spine by bringing your chin towards your chest. Make sure the body remains stable while the head moves.
Return: Raise the head back to a neutral position, return arms to the position at chest height and then lower in a controlled manner.
