How to Do Seated Neck Extensor Stretch
Each seated neck extensor stretch should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop this seated neck extensor stretch.
You should extend your head straight backward, avoiding side-to-side movement. Use a slow and controlled movement to avoid pain.
