Recommendations and Precautions
Aim to repeat each exercise slowly and
painlessly 6 to 8 times
Depending on use, replace the elastomer
band when it appears worn or every 6-12
months.
Store your NeckTek out of direct sunlight as
UV will deteriorate the resisance band.
You should experience no pain or dizziness
during these exercises.
It is important for neck strengthening to be
combined with other core stability exercises,
scapula stability exercises and stretching.
Your therapist can show you which exercises are most appropriate for you, advise you on
when to progress your exercises and how your NeckTek routine can be performed in
conjunction with core abdominal and scapula stability exercises.
Once you find the exercises easy, take your head closer to the floor, increase the tension
on the band of your NeckTek or replace with a band of greater resistence.
