ABSTRACT:
Assistance in the restoring of genetic loss of function is achieved by a method providing incremental controlled movements of the head and neck muscles and wherein the body assumes the supine, prone and left and right lateral positions, all in a horizontally aligned disposition while atop a plane surface. Head
eck lift movements are executed in an exercise series involving successive movements in a vertical and left to right direction, initially terminating with a rest pause following each head
eck lift. Following a sequence of a plurality of levels, the full muscular range of motion is obtained, in an incremental manner, through the use of a firm support element inserted beneath the upper back in certain of the levels involving the supine position, beneath the chest in certain of the levels involving the prone position and beneath the head in certain of the levels involving the left and right lateral positions. By altering the thickness dimension of these support elements, an incremental change of muscular range of motion is accomplished. A final level is carried out with omission of the rest pause following each repetition of head
eck lift movements and by modifying an upper leg position in each lateral body position while in the prone and supine positions, raising the upper body upon the elbows prior to performing the same series of head
eck movement. Supplemental shoulder girdle muscle movements are also performed in a quadruped position.
