Exercises Group

A Pressure Biofeedback Device will be used in CCF training to increase awareness and focus on the desired muscle. After the person is brought to the hook position, the pressurized biofeedback device will be placed in the middle position between the craniocervical and cervical vertebrae or horizontally so that the protrusion between the earlobe and the chin is removed. It is inflated to a standard 20 mmHg to ensure surface-to-longitudinal contact. Participants are taught the correct craniocervical flexion movement without first working the superficial muscles. The patient is then asked to look with their eyes slightly toward the chest cavity. During the exercises, starting from 20 mmHg and increasing by 2 mmHg, the desired level of 30 mmHg will be reached. At each level, the movement is continued for 10 seconds, resting for 3-5 seconds, 10 repetitions are required. If the same level is maintained for 10 seconds and 10 repetitions, the next level is passed.
