The splenius capitis is a thick muscle that resembles a strap. It is located in the back of your neck. It begins at the base of your skull and ends at the top of your thoracic spine. This muscle allows for head extension, as well as lateral flexion and rotation of the cervical spine....
Lateral neck flexion exercises stretch the muscles that aid in tilting and rotating the head. Slowly bend the head to one side, such as by bringing the left ear toward the left shoulder. During this stretch, the shoulders and back remain still while the neck flexes laterally to the side. ...
Lateral Flexion - Ear to Shoulder This exercise starts in the midline neutral position. It is possible to do it while lying flat on the back or sitting up straight. The goal of the exercise is to gently bend the neck in an attempt to touch the shoulder with the ear. When the stretch ...
Located on the side of your neck, the primary role of the scalenes is lateral flexion and rotation of your neck. There are three scalene muscles: anterior (front), medial (middle), and posterior (rear). While these muscles have separate origins and insertions, they typically work together t...
Neck Lateral Flexion to Right Neck Lateral Flexion to Left Neck Rotation to Right Neck Rotation to Left Some pointers to keep in mind as you stretch and strengthen your neck: Never stretch to a point where you experience pain; the goal is to feel a comfortable stretch. ...
Neck flexion is assisted by contraction of neck muscles that are located in front of the neck. Neck flexion at the same time stretches the muscle of the back of cervical spine. Exercise helps to maintain tone of the flexor and extensor muscles. ...

Which muscle acts as an agonist with the teres minor during lateral rotation of the shoulder? a. teres major b. infraspinatus c. latissimus dorsi d. subscapularis Which of the following muscles produces the main flexion of the elbow? a) Biceps brachii muscle b) Pronator teres c) Flexor ca...
these muscles control the flexion and extension of the head and neck. Working individually, these muscles rotate the head or flex the neck laterally to the left or right. Neck muscles contract to adjust the posture of the head throughout the course of a day and have some of the greatest ...
