@debkl & @mikaylar According to my magical PT, chin tucks are an "advanced exercise", and definitely not for everyone. Certainly cervical impingements are helped, others can get worse. Near the end of my ongoing pain management PT last year, we tried them a couple of times, and it quickly became evident that the degenerated discs and bone spurs in my neck would not get be improved by them... The other thing I learned was that certain stretches helped if done each day, others worked best if only done 3x per week.

Finally, I learned to pay attention to the "other 23 hours" - posture, activity and inactivity the rest of the day. I move constantly and repeat range of motion movements many times an hour.

What exercises or movements did you find that help your pain?
