How to do it

Follow the steps in order. Move in a comfortable range unless your provider said otherwise.

  1. Lie on your back with knees bent and a small towel under your head if needed.
  2. Look straight up at the ceiling with a neutral face.
  3. Gently nod your chin toward your throat as if making a soft double chin.
  4. Keep the back of your head in light contact with the surface; do not lift your head.
  5. Hold briefly, then relax back to the start.
