Bruegger's training

Bruegger's Position of external arm rotation, shoulder abduction and retraction of the scapulae . This position with simultaneous head and neck retraction is a strengthening exercise for deep neck flexors and lower scapular stabilizers. The subjects are instructed to place their feet on the floor completely and keep their knee joints 10 ㎝ below the hip joints in 45° of abduction. The subjects sit hitting their ischial tuberosity on the chair and maintained their physiological curvature for the TL spine. Following external rotation of the glenohumeral joints, tension is relaxed with each inhalation, and depression and retraction of the shoulder girdle are performed with each exhalation.
