Correcting Neck Pain with Towel Exercise
- Cervical rectification can cause neck pain due to the flattening of the natural curve of the cervical spine.
- The exercise to correct this involves using a towel folded 3-4 times to target the lower cervical vertebrae.
- To locate the lower cervical vertebrae, palpate the neck and find the prominent spinous process.
- Place the towel just above this prominent vertebra and perform a head extension looking towards the ceiling.
- Push forward and down at a 45-degree angle towards the floor, holding for a few seconds before returning to the starting position.
- Thinning the towel fold concentrates the mobilization on the lower cervical area, addressing rectification issues.
- Another effective technique involves lying face up on a bed or sofa with the head hanging back to work on full neck extension, holding for 60 seconds.
