Daily rehab for today is drilling down 4 awesome neck strengthening exercises we give to patients with acute and chronic neck pain. With prolonged forward head postures you can get some serious weakness in the neck muscles and coupled with pain messaging you can end up with recurring neck pain and headaches. Luckily that can be sorted out with some simply and effective isometric loading exercises like these 4 beauties.

1️⃣ Deep neck extensors (prone)
2️⃣ Iso Retraction - foam pad (standing)
3️⃣ Side Flexion iso (kneeling banded)
4️⃣ Flexion Ball holds (supine)

The aim is to get isometric work (muscle contraction without joint movement) into the extensors, side flexors and flexors of the neck in a NEUTRAL position - basically to get stronger in the positions you want to be in during the day when you are static. Makes sense. Aim to hold these for up to 1min when you get good at them. Good luck and happy neck day!
