Conseils techniques
When you start to lower your chin towards your chest, do so slowly and gently. Do not use force or jerk your neck. This common mistake can lead to injury. The stretch should be felt in the back of your neck, not in your spine.
Once your chin is as close to your chest as it can comfortably get, hold the position for about 15 to 30 seconds. Then slowly lift your head back to the starting position. Don't rush this process. Quick movements can cause muscle strain.
Make sure to breathe normally while performing the stretch. Holding your breath can increase blood pressure and prevent muscles from relaxing.
Consistency is key in any exercise regimen. Perform the chin-to-chest
