How to do it

  1. 1Set the seat so the machine’s pivot is level with the base of your neck and load an appropriate plate.
  2. 2Position the left head pad on the bony side of your skull above the ear (not on the jaw or ear).
  3. 3Sit tall with your back against the pad, feet flat, and grip the handles to stabilize your torso.
  4. 4Start with your head neutral, chin level, shoulders relaxed—do not shrug.
  5. 5Exhale as you slowly flex your neck to the left, bringing your ear toward your shoulder without rotating the head.
  6. 6Pause briefly at a comfortable end range without pinching or pain.
  7. 7Inhale as you return to neutral under control, keeping the motion slow and the neck aligned.
