Don't bang your nose on the wall
After watching Eric Dalton's presentation on the 42 pound head, I had a series of forward head clients the next day. I needed a self-care instruction to help them maintain the improvements gained. This is what I came up with. [tested it on another therapist at the end of the day and she was delighted with the effect.]
DON'T BANG YOUR NOSE ON THE WALL
- Stand in front of a wall the distance of the length of your fore arms.
- Abduct shoulder 30 t0 45 degrees and flex elbows 90 degrees and place palms or fist against wall.
- keeping body strait lean into the wall keeping the nose from hitting the wall with your arms.
- Try to pull your head back away from the wall and lean in farther.
- Push yourself up straight keeping head in new position.
- Repeat the above fallowing the functional exercise rule. Did you see FUN on the front of functional? If it stops being fun stop doing it.]
- Have client practice after bodywork session and observe changes in lordosis/kyphosis and where stretch is felt.
