Targeted Neck Muscles
Sternocleidomastoid (SCM): The SCM runs from the mastoid process behind the ear down to the sternum and collarbone. It helps rotate the head and tilt the chin, and protects structures like the carotid artery.
Deep Cervical Flexors: These muscles, including the longus capitis and longus colli, run along the front of the cervical spine, aiding in neck flexion and stabilization.
Scalene Muscles: Located on each side of the neck, they assist in flexion, lateral flexion, and rotation.
Suboccipitals: These muscles connect the upper cervical spine to the base of the skull, playing a key role in head extension and rotation.
What is Tech Neck
"Tech Neck is the act of stressing muscles while using mobile phones, tablets and computers resulting in neck, back, and shoulder pain, stiffness and soreness" - Health Matters Magazine
With XtreemNek
XtreemNek is specifically designed to help you properly perform the Chin Tuck exercise, one of the most frequently recommended exercises by healthcare practitioners for treating Tech Neck.
*You should always consult a healthcare specialist or manual practitioner prior to undertaking new pain management options.
OTC painkillers help with acute pain but aren't for long-term use. Prescription drugs like opioids and anti-inflammatories may be needed for severe pain, but they mainly treat symptoms, not the cause, and can lead to dependency with prolonged use.
Chiropractic, massage, osteopathy, and physiotherapy are non-invasive methods often recommended for musculoskeletal pain. Practitioners also suggest regular exercise for strength and to prevent future injuries and symptom recurrence.
Surgery may be necessary for serious issues, but it's usually a last resort. Always discuss the risks with your doctor before proceeding. If possible, consider non-invasive, non-permanent alternatives.
Why it Works
When performed properly and regularly, the chin tuck aligns your cervical spine in order to target and strengthen the sternocleidomastoid, deep cervical flexors and lower cervical flexors, while stretching the scalene muscles along the front of the neck and suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull.
Because neck muscles support the cervical spine and contribute to the healthy movement of head, neck, upper back and shoulders, keeping them healthy and strong are critical to keeping you healthy and moving.

We developed XtreemNek to help you perform the chin tuck exercise with proper form, to increase efficiency and reduce the chance of injury or strain.
