This was a specialized spine strengthening clinic. They had Med-X weight machines which they hooked me up to. One exercise was nodding through the full range of motion (with weight) and the other was turning my head from side to side (with weight). They did special calculations to know what weight to start at and how much to increase it each time, and they iced the area thoroughly after each round of exercise.

Hope this helps!
