US 2007/0191187 A1 · Device and method for muscle training

Abstract

The device for muscle training is a collar or neck and head support worn by a user during athletic training. The neck and head support includes a front portion for receiving and stabilizing the neck of the user, and a rear portion having a head support portion for stabilizing the base of the user's head, along with a shoulder support portion, for engaging the user's shoulders. In use, the neck and head support maintains the user's neck and head in a stable position during athletic training in order to train the user to keep his or her head straight and stable during the athletic activity to be performed. This stable position promotes anatomical symmetry in athletic movement and is further useful in posture development. This device is further useful in training the user's muscles to operate symmetrically about the central axis of the user's body.
