You're Doing Chin Tucks WRONG | Physical Therapist Teaches The Correct Way

Did you know that most people do the simple chin tuck exercise wrong?? The way it's commonly taught doesn't really activate all of the muscles it's supposed to and can cause only one or two segments of the neck to be engaged. Dr. Lin teaches his favorite way to do the chin tuck exercise!

Once there is a trauma posture doesn't fix it usually it helps that not to go back but usually more exercises are needed period I've always had great posture but once I bottle fed a whole bunch of little baby kittens it caused a trauma to my cervical area good this exercise really helps because I'm constantly working on going back to where I was

Why is almost every single rehab/chiro/physical therapist on KZfaq so damn cocky?? Every single one is like "YOU ARE DOING THIS WRONG, ALL OTHER KZfaq VIDEOS ARE LYING!!". Can't you be a bit more humble and realistic? Like "if nothing has worked for you so far, you could try this and see if it helps", or something in that direction.

@lw7654 3 жыл бұрын

Have a question...so many ppl, ie docs, therapists recommend chin tucks, chin nods. I read if you have a reverse curve in the neck (cervical kyphosis), that it can cause the spinal cord to stretch and shear. Doing a chin tuck with a reverse curve can tear the spinal cord up! Worse part yet to come, our spinal cord doesn't always feel what is happening. You can damage it daily for years with out knowing. Do you agree and would your exercise, which I like better apply to that? Thank you

@grumpyguss 2 жыл бұрын

These exercises are a tiny fraction of the amount of force needed to do anything like you've said. The chin tuck is about the most recommended exercise for a reason....because it works and patients don't break their spines as a result. It's a gentle exercise.

@@grumpyguss continuing to read more info contradictions whether true or not chin tucks can hurt you. It may cause BP issues. If you have a reversed neck curve and do them again from what I’m reading, that can cause damage.

@wytishacarter7856 10 ай бұрын

One would have to exert an enormous amount of force over an extended period of time to shear the spinal cord with chin tucks. Common sense would lead one to stop because of the pain produced before that would ever happen. He has demonstrated a way to perform chin tucks that minimize overexertion. Performing chin tucks to facilitate more cervical spine alignment is far less risky than continuing with a forward head position and the domino effect of issues related to the misalignment.

@potent_osrs4680 2 жыл бұрын

So just to confirm. Because I’m doing chin tucks to fix my forward head posture. When I do them it feels like I can’t breathe. That is normal? I’m scared I’m going to like crush my air way

@tundeganiyu3319 2 жыл бұрын

You probably being doing it wrong. Please don't go into extension or extreme . You can gentle use this method because I notice you might have been jamming your vertebrate in that process. Try to put on finger beneath your jaw and another finger at the back of your skull with another hand. Then, try to use the method of using the finger at the back of Ur skull to lift it up and use the other finger beneath your jaw to slight push back. This way u re stretching back the c-curve back to its normal place rather than jamming it. If you don't get it. I can drop my WhatsApp number to illustrate on short video clip

Try to add a little resistance by placing your thumb under your chin and nodding slightly against it. Make sure to relax your shoulders. Hold it for a few seconds and feel the contraction building up. Hope that helps.
