Shaker exercise

There are two ways to do this exercise. Your doctor or speech therapist may have you do it one or both ways.

1. Lie on your back on a firm surface.
2. Keep your shoulders flat. Don't lift your shoulders.
3. Bend your head forward so that your chin tucks. Try to see your toes.
4. Hold the position as your doctor or speech therapist tells you to. You can either:
   • Hold this position for 1 minute, and then lower your head and rest for 1 minute.
   • Or hold this position for 1 minute, and then lower your head and go on to the next repetition.
5. Repeat these steps as many times as directed.
