Band Neck Forward Exercise: Build Strength & Prevent Neck Pain for Golf Performance

Key Points

• • This isometric neck exercise helps build strength and resilience using just a resistance band.
• • Great to use before or after play, and especially after long flights or travel days.
• • Start with lighter bands, then progress to heavier resistance as tolerated.
• • Neck pain is increasingly common among golfers—especially due to travel and the rotational demands of the swing.

• Execution: 

  Loop the band around your forehead, step back to create moderate tension, and hold position for:

  • 30 seconds to start

  • Progress to 45–60 seconds as strength improves

• • This is an isometric movement, meaning the muscle stays static under tension—ideal for injury prevention.
