Instructed in HEP for cervical range of motion of the neck muscles with holding pain-free end range due to chronic forward head posture. Patient requires minimal assistance for carryover and technique. Adjusted starting position of exercises by cueing the patient to keep head forward facing, shoulders back and down, shoulder blades squeezed, and feet flat on the floor.
