Neck Flexion and Extension

Neck flexion and extension is another effective exercise to help treat whiplash. For this exercise to be effective you’ll need to maintain good posture all through the range of motion. To perform the exercise, first have your head looking forward and mouth wide open. Extend your neck and head backward so you are looking up at the ceiling. Slowly close your mouth. Then tilt your head to one side for a moment, then tilt it to the other side. You should feel a stretch on the sides of your neck when you tilt your head. Bring your head back into midline and bring your head back up. For the last movement, slowly bring your chin to your chest for neck flexion.
