6 - Isometric Neck Strengthening Exercises - Ask Dr. Abelson

[@starlitweaver]

The only thing I would add is that you should try to keep your neck in an aligned position when doing the isometrics as best as you can. In a few shots she was leaning her neck to the side 20 degrees before contracting. Apart from that a lovely demonstration thank you!

[@MrAndromedean]

I have plenty more to learn. Do you mean the face should head should remain in neutral position for each exercise? I will watch more videos to really understand the mechanics, so no pressure to elucidate. thx in advance

[@davidboyd374]

Isometric always best & effective - post isometric relaxation ( PIR) will help to reduce tone , lengthen t tight muscle , improve ROM, improve efficiency of muscle contraction .

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi Suresh: Both isometric and isotonic exercises are great. Isometric exercise are less effective than isotonic exercise at increasing strength, speed, or overall athletic performance. That being said isometrics are excellent at stabilizing injured or weak regions, in addition, they prepare the individual for more advanced training. Cheers!

Can you suggest any exercise for pain in right side scapula n arm ,formarm pain

[@kinetichealthonline]

Thanks for reaching out, @poojarajput9267. While specific exercises should be tailored to the individual after a thorough physical examination, general strengthening and stretching exercises for the shoulder and forearm may be beneficial. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure the exercises are appropriate for your particular condition. They can provide guidance that considers your full medical history and current level of discomfort. Take care and seek professional advice to address your pain effectively.

Thank you!

[@amjan]

Nice. I have been doing the lateral and forward movement exercises, but hadn't figured out I should also do rotation.

[@lucycarlos4923]

Is this better than stretching?

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hi Lucy: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a type of flexibility training that is considered more advanced because it incorporates both stretching and contracting of the targeted muscle group. PNF stretching is widely recognized as one of the most efficient methods for enhancing flexibility and expanding the range of motion in the body. Cheers!

Hi I’m just wondering whether these exercises would help with clicking larynx syndrome? Or are there more suited ones for that

[@kinetichealthonline]

Hello, it's important to note that I can't provide a detailed opinion on specific cases without conducting a physical examination. The exercises you're referring to are tailored for certain neck conditions. For a more comprehensive understanding, you may find this article interesting "A Throat that Clicks". However, the most effective course of action would be to consult with a local healthcare professional to receive personalized advice.

How many times per day or sets should this be done

[@kinetichealthonline]

This really depends on the specific case. In many cases, we would have the patient perform this series of exercises several times per day in other cases, depending upon the acute nature of the situation we would reduce it to once per day. Cheers.

Exercises are excellent. 1 question. What pressure do i use for resistance exercises?

[@kinetichealthonline]

@TheresaLarkinTipperary, I'm glad to hear you find the exercises beneficial! When it comes to the application of pressure for resistance exercises, it's crucial to prioritize safety and listen to your body. A general guideline is to use enough pressure to challenge your muscles while still being able to maintain proper form throughout the exercise. Start with light pressure and gradually increase as your strength and endurance improve. However, each individual’s capacity varies, so it would be wise to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions. Stay consistent and attentive to how your body responds to the exercises.

Your Welcome

[@SeanReifschneider]

My doctor warned against doing what this video demonstrates: Moving your head out of neutral position. He recommended doing it in front of a mirror to make sure that your head was remaining in it's starting, neutral position, as you were doing the exercises. These exercises have been a miracle for me to get rid of upper back/neck muscle pain.

[@kinetichealthonline]

@SeanReifschneider Thank you for engaging with the content and sharing your experience. It's important to follow the guidance of your healthcare provider, as they understand your specific medical history and needs. I always recommend performing exercises within a safe range of motion and under professional supervision when possible. Using a mirror for feedback on maintaining a neutral head position is a great tip. Keep in mind that the information provided in my videos is general in nature and not a substitute for professional advice tailored to individual cases. Stay safe and well!​
