The Effects of a Specific Exercise Program on Subjects With Cervicogenic Headache

This study explores with the use of MSK Ultrasound imaging if the obliquus capitis minor and the rectus capitis major can be contracted with specific exercises.

This study explores if a subject with the neck in full maximal flexion is able to selective contract the the obliquus capitis minor and the rectus capitis major by head extension and rotation while maintaining the spine position. MSK Ultrasound imaging will be used to measure changes both in length and width.

Inclusion Criteria:

• No history of surgery, No current neck pain, Being able to move the neck actively, being able to read English, between ages 18-65
