Rehabilitation helps with recovery from injury, illness, surgery and tightness. Problems of the neck, otherwise known as the cervical area, may at times require rehabilitation exercises. Sometimes to strengthen the neck and add support to the upper back and shoulders, chin tucks are incorporated into the routine. Chin tucks require no fitness equipment and can be done from any seated or standing position.
