How to do it:
-
Sit or stand tall with your shoulders relaxed.
-
Look straight ahead and gently draw your chin straight back, as if making a “double chin.”
-
Keep your shoulders down and your eyes level (avoid tilting your head up or down).
-
Hold for 2–3 seconds, then relax and repeat.
Why it’s effective:
By retraining the small, deep neck flexors, chin retractions help correct forward head posture and relieve pressure on the neck and upper back.
Common benefits:
Reduces neck and shoulder tension, improves posture and spinal alignment, strengthens deep neck stabilizers & supports recovery from tech neck and headaches related to posture.
