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. 

This figure illustrates the daily stress created by smartphone use and the importance of posture on spine health. 

NeckTEK may be a valuable tool to assist in 

correcting Upper Cross Syndrome
