Research overwhelmingly supports that stronger necks reduce the risk of head/neck injuries in football. Since football is a dynamic sport, it seems logical the strength training techniques for the neck should mimic the forces required to reduce the impact of the head. This key reason is exactly why the Neck Strengthening Strap was developed.
Through its design, the Neck Strengthening Strap allows for dynamic, multi-dimensional neck strengthening in just a matter of minutes. It specifically allows for the training of cervical rotation, which recent research has shown is one of the key forces that result in concussions.
By training rotation along with flexion, extension, and side bending, the Neck Strengthening Strap will have targeted all of the main stabilizers of the neck, thus increase general neck strength, endurance, and control of the head/neck.
The Neck Strengthening Strap specifically designed resistance also teaches athletes how to appropriately control the deceleration of the neck and better deceleration means better control at impact, so use the Neck Strengthening Strap “2 Minute Drill” to Get Strong and Play Safe!
The Football Safety Academy strongly encourages coaches and parents to learn more about the Neck Strengthening Strap at www.neckstrengtheningstrap.com
Also learn how the “Hulk Shrug Technique” utilizes a shoulder shrugging motion which allows the neck’s stronger extension muscles to stabilize the head thereby enabling the head, neck, shoulders and upper back to act as a solid single unit during football impact thus functioning simultaneously not as separate individual units by Dr. Donald Chu (bio) PhD, PT, ATC, CSCS, Sports Performance and Sports Medicine Specialist.

Head Up – Eyes Up – HULK UP!
DISCLAIMER
The Football Safety Academy acknowledges the coach has the responsibility to decide which football techniques should be taught for the well being and safety of his players and there is not one specific technique including the Hulk Shrug Technique or safety device that can completely eliminate the risk of injury from impacts related to football including catastrophic injury and death. To the knowledge of the Football Safety Academy no specific research has been done regarding the Hulk Shrug Technique, however the Football Safety Academy is actively pursuing this goal.
