Chin Tuck Your Neck Back to Better Posture and Mobility

Chin Tuck Your Neck Back to Better Posture and Mobility

If you suffer from a bad case of “tech neck” from too much screen time, consider adding some chin tucks to your day to mobilize and strengthen the cervical spine, restore posture and reduce pain. My awesome physical therapist Mark Bautista, DPT, PT at Renew Physical Therapy gives a great demo in this video. Be gentle and listen to your body. This should feel good. If this causes you pain stop right away and consult a doctor (like Mark and his team). If pain free, start with 10 reps a few times a day to give your neck a break. For more mobility tips follow Mark on IG @dr.markpt.
