    The document discusses stretches for the neck muscles. It provides a table that lists the muscles involved in various neck movements like extension, flexion, rotation, and lateral flexion/extension. It explains that to stretch a specific muscle, the stretch should involve moving the neck in the opposite direction of that muscle's normal movement. The more stiff a muscle, the fewer simultaneous opposite movements should be used in the stretch. As the muscle loosens, more opposite movements can be incorporated into the stretch.

    STRETCHING ANATOMY

    Neck Muscle Movements


    The stretches in this chapter are excellent overall stretches; however, not all of these stretches may be completely suited to each persons needs. The muscles involved in the various neck movements appear in the following table. To stretch specic muscles, the stretch must involve one or more movements in the opposite direction of the desired muscles movements. For example, if you want to stretch the left scalene, you could extend the head both backward and laterally to the right. When a muscle has a high level of stiffness, you should use fewer simultaneous opposite movements (you would stretch a very tight right scalene by initially doing just left lateral extension). As a muscle becomes loose, you can incorporate more simultaneous opposite movements.
