Chin Tucks
Sit or stand tall with your shoulders relaxed and your gaze level. Gently draw your chin straight back, as if making a double chin, while keeping your head level rather than tipping it down. Hold briefly to lengthen the back of your neck and activate the deep neck flexors, then release smoothly to the start. Keep the movement small and controlled, avoiding any strain in the jaw or shoulders.
