Morning Cervical Health Protocol
As discussed in today’s episode (#147), here is the start to my 6 week corrective exercise recovery program that I used to come back from my c6/c7 herniation. I credit Drew Courtney from DBC Fitness in San Diego for conducting my assessment, and building this prescription. Without Drew, and Casey Parlett (Owner), this recovery wouldn’t have been nearly as effective.
It’s possible that none of these exercises make sense for your current state of recovery or injury. As a result, I urge you to consult with your doctor, or physical therapist, in advance of beginning any exercise protocol.
I have included a video hyperlink demonstrating each movement incase anything is unclear.
Protocol:
Repeat all exercises twice. Hold each exercise for between 6 and 8 relaxed breaths while focusing on good postural alignment.
I would finish this protocol with my inversion boots. I purchased the Teeter Boots on Amazon which were relatively inexpensive, but I still recommend an inversion table if you have the space as they allow for smoother progressions.
Teeter Boot Inversion - 10 sets of 30sec-1min
