I find tight longus colli vertical and sore platysma on my right side. I have tried to strenghten them by holding my head towards my hand forward/sideways but inefficient. The way I get them activated apparently is stretching my head back behind me that sounds unsafe.

How can you strengthen the muscles here that require stretching head backwards?

    If I we're you, I'd seek the advice of a PT.

    I agree with rrirower about getting professional guidance. Your question is asking about rehab rather than fitness. With a concussion and a neck injury, you may aggravate your symptoms without proper instruction.

Rubber bands or a neck harness that you can attach a light plate to.

  1. Rubberband is probably the safest method

  2. You can use the BJJ neck training here:
