For your 10 minutes of stretching in each phase of recovery you may pick from any of the following exercises or replace them with any of your favorite stretching positions. These photos will be replaced in the future with custom images. Hold each pose for 30 seconds. Avoid poses that increase your symptoms.
Quad and hip flexor stretches. Fire your abs and keep your back straight to protect yourself! In the lunge stretch – you should feel the stretch in the leg behind you.
Again, keep your back straight for the hamstring stretch.
You should feel the second stretch in your glute (rear end)
Be cautious with your back and knees in child’s pose. This is a great arm and low back stretch.
For the wall angels – be cautious of shoulder pain!
These are both great shoulder stretches! You should feel the stretch on the back of your arm. Protect your neck!
The first exercise is a Deep Neck Flexor Stretch. Very important in concussions! You should be making a double chin and feel the “muscles under your tongue”
