Deep Cervical Flexor Exercises
for Neck Pain
Targeted exercises for the deep cervical flexor muscles (longus colli and capitis) correct the forward head posture and muscle imbalance that drives most chronic neck pain.
How it works
Restores co-activation of deep cervical flexors with superficial muscles. Reduces excessive activation of upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid that causes tension headaches and neck pain.
What to watch for
These are different from general chin tucks — require accurate technique to activate the correct deep muscles. A physiotherapist should teach the correct pattern before independent practice.
