Cable Cervical Flexion
Kneel in good posture with back to the cable apparatus.
Set cable apparatus so cable attachment is at lowest point.
Securely attach cable to cable apparatus.
Securely clamp cable to right and left side of head harness.
Thoracic spine straight.
Extend neck as far as possible through a symptom free range of motion. This is the starting position.
Flex neck as far as possible through a symptom free range of motion.
Slowly return to starting position by controlling eccentric motion.
Move in a slow and controlled manner through a symptom free range of motion.
Control concentric and eccentric phase of motion.
Gradually build to fifty reps.
Increase neck strength with cable cervical spine strengthening exercises. Cable exercises provide resistance through the entire range of motion. Develop proportional neck strength by strengthening the sternocleidomastoids, scalenes, levator scapula, trapezius, deep cervical flexors, cervical paraspinals and suboccipital muscles. Increase cervical spine strength to decrease the risk of cervical sprain/strains, cervical disc herniations, burners/stingers, cervical radiculopathies, concussion and post-concussion syndrome.
Perform all exercises through a symptom free range of motion. Control the eccentric phase of the motion and move in a slow and controlled manner. Never execute an exercise that elicits or intensifies symptoms.

Hands should be directly under the shoulder blades.
With both hands behind back, tightly hold resistance band against floor.
Band should be inside the arms.
Narrow distance between hands, decreases resistance.
Wide distance between hands, increases resistance.
Band secured to both sides of neck harness.
Extend neck as far as possible through a symptom free range of motion.
This is the starting position.
Flex neck as far as possible through a symptom free range of motion.
