CERVICAL CHIN TUCK - SUPINE WITH TOWEL
While lying on your back with a small rolled up towel under the curve of your neck, tuck your chin towards your chest. Maintain contact of the back of your with the surface you are lying on the entire time.
Tilt your head to the side, then rotate to the side, then tip downward as in looking at your opposite pocket. You should feel a gentle stretch at the side/back of your neck.
Hold the ends of a small folded bath towel and wrap it around your head and neck as shown. Place the towel on your face so as to minimize placing pressure on your jaw. Pressure should be placed on the side of your face/cheek bone. Use your bottom most arm to anchor the towel in place. Use your top most arm to pull the towel to cause a gentle rotational stretch in your neck. Hold, then return to starting position and repeat.
