When my patient told me her neck hurts during ab work, I explained that it means she’s using her neck to “help” during the core exercise.
So we shifted her rehab homework to remove the neck from the equation. ❌
We gave her exercises like the deadbug, one of our favorites, or this single leg pallof press!
That way, she can actually activate her core without overusing the muscles up top.
💾Save this for core strength WITHOUT the neck pain!
