ATHLETIC NECK™

from $40.00

Athletic Neck is a 2 tool kit and protocol for developing neck strength as a means to stabilizing the head. Its approach for addressing the concussion issue is ahead of the curve and unique in the national market. Safer youth sports is our mission.

Athletic Neck builds strength in the neck and the surrounding musculature of the upper back, chest, and shoulders. Younger athletes are disproportionately weak in supporting their head because their heads grow faster than their neck and body. Assisting the development of these muscle groups logically decreases the risk of head injury while improving overall body control.

Neck strengthening exercises can be done in 7-15 minutes per session with a recommended 2 or 3 sessions per week. They can be performed while sideline on the practice field or while watching TV at home. No weight room is required. The exercises are easy to learn and quick to perform. An informed coach, parent, AT, PT, or medical professional should oversee adherence to the directions, but Athletic Neck exercises can be done independently. Start slowly as many of the small muscles of the neck are not accustomed to these new stresses and movement patterns.

Warning: This product contains latex.

Concussion is a dark cloud passing over sports today.

It’s not just a Football problem. Concussions affect many sports including: Cheer, Soccer, Hockey, Wrestling, Lacrosse, Rugby, Volleyball, Basketball, Baseball, Softball, Field Hockey, Skiing, Snowboarding, Gymnastics, Bobsled, Mountain Biking, Skateboarding, and many more as well as Military service.
A "proactive" solution to what the CDC in Atlanta has declared a "concussion epidemic" is needed. Athletic Neck is a "silver lining".

Concussion and Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS) can be a serious and potentially long lasting issue. Concussion is a "hidden" injury to the brain. You can't see a concussion and you can't go in and fix it like a torn ACL. Until recently, concussions were "shaken off" and "taken for the team", but that culture is changing. Concussion is no longer defined by "being knocked out". Concussion is any abnormal brain function due to impact and it is primarily diagnosed by symptoms. The impact does not have to be to your head. Body-to-body and body-to-ground impact can cause a whiplash effect that results in concussion. Learn the symptoms and the up-to-date protocols for treating them. Educate yourself on concussion risks, symptoms, Second Impact Syndrome and return-to-play guidelines.

You only get one brain. Keep it safe and healthy.
