Inclination of neck against resistance

Gently tilt your head to the left and place the palm of your right hand on the right side of your cranium (skull), above the right ear.

From this starting position, try to straighten your head and tilt it to the right, while your right arm exerts pressure toward the left to prevent it. You must exert sufficient pressure with your arms to allow the head to move but slowly and against resistance. You must not allow your head to lean to the left as much as possible. Hold the tension for about 5 seconds and rest. Repeat the movement until the series is completed.

Once you have completed the series, do it on the other side. Repeat the series to one side and the other until you have performed 4 on each side.
