1These stretches are best performed seated. The arm on the side being stretched is anchored under the hip. And the opposite hand is placed over the top of the head and above the ear on the stretch side.
2Slowly bring your ear toward your shoulder. Be sure to keep shoulders fixed, and do not lean your body to the side.
3This stretch is done with 3 head positions to isolate the anterior, middle, and posterior scalene muscles. Repeat 3 times in each position. Once finished on one side of the neck repeat the entire procedure to opposite side.
⚠️ Rapha Clinic Notice: Move smoothly without bouncing. Hold stretches for 30s. If any unexpected pain increases, suspend activity immediately.
