Chin Nodding Against a Fist

Chin Nodding against a Fist
  • The patient is sitting erect and instructed to make a fist and place it directly beneath the chin.
  • Then instruct the patient in using the deep neck flexors by nodding their chin down firmly against their fist.
  • Emphasize tucking the chin toward the chest rather than bending the head forward.
  • The patient may feel a slight stretch at the base of their head.
  • They hold for 10 seconds and repeat 3-5 times gradually increasing to 10 repetitions.
