How to Prepare Before Using the Glisson Loop

Before starting exercises with the Glisson loop, it is recommended to warm up the neck and upper back muscles. Perform a light massage of the longitudinal back muscles, followed by deeper circular motions and relaxing vibrations, or use gentle heat therapy to loosen the muscles.

How to Perform Exercises with the Glisson Loop

• Lower your chin down and hold for 3–4 seconds.

• Make slow turns to the right and left, as if saying “no.” Repeat 3 times.

• Tilt your head toward your right shoulder, hold for 3–4 seconds, then repeat on the left side.

• Move your chin in a semicircle from one shoulder to the other, then reverse the direction.

• Turn your head to the right, trying to look at your shoulder blade, then repeat on the left.

• Raise and lower your chin with your head tilted at a 45° angle.

• Press the back of your head gently against a wall to create light resistance.

After completing the exercises, remove the loop and wear a cervical support collar to help maintain the achieved spinal position. Mild dizziness after traction is normal and may occur due to increased oxygen flow to the brain. It is best to sit or lie down for a while and avoid sudden movements.
