The McKenzie Chin Tuck, is an essential part of correcting forward head posture and should be integrated into a normal swallow, as part of the meal time exercise (   • The Mealtime Exercise  ).

This is a modification by my sister Rosie who was the lead physio for the paraolympics at home (https://www.sportsinjuryfix.com/busin...)

The harder you make a swallow the more you have to work on it and making a McKenzie chin tuck as you swallow forces the tongue to the roof of the mouth, pushes the teeth together and calms the facial musculature.

Elbows off the table, sit up straight, bring your food up to you (in fact stretch; chin tuck; away from your food), chew like you mean it, busy on the inside and calm on the outside, with no facial muscles making any action. Chew 20 times, then chin tuck and swallow.

Top tip; 1) make your tongue do some work, reaching right up into the gutters between your side teeth and the cheeks or lips. 2) Clench your teeth together as you swallow pushing your tongue up to stop your teeth biting together much (feel that muscles working against each other). 3) Cut you food up before you start, so that you only need one hand to be active 4) and put one hand, palm up in your lap, you can even hold a base ball sized object as a reminder.

Just this and nothing else can revolutionize your swallowing pattern and have a significant impact on the whole CFD train.
