Physical therapists Bob and Brad demonstrate how to get rid of a "neck hump" (also known as dowager's hump) using a rolled-up sock. They explain that the hump is caused by a prominent seventh cervical vertebrae, and that using a sock can provide counter pressure to help correct this. They show various exercises that can be done using the sock, such as chin tucks, extensions, and side bending. They also demonstrate how to use a foam roller to stretch and strengthen the muscles in the neck and shoulders. Additionally, they show exercises using exercise bands to strengthen the muscles that promote good posture.
