The chin area is connected to the neck and shoulders by a large area
of powerful muscle called the sternocleidomastoid. This extensive flap
of muscle anchors in under the collarbone and connects to the chin as
far as behind the ear. The following exercises work this muscle in
particular:
Sit comfortably on a stool with your back straight, your feet flat on the floor, and your hands resting in your lap.
1. Keeping your back straight and your shoulders still, tilt your head downward, comfortably
2. Slowly roll your head toward your right shoulder, going only as far as you comfortably can
3. Now gently tilt your head backward, being careful not to strain your neck, especially if you have problems in this area.
4. Finally, roll your head toward your left shoulder, before
returning to the starting position to complete the circular movement.
Repeat the sequence once more, slowly, in the same direction, then twice more going in the opposite direction.
