📖 Static demo — read-only snapshot

You’re browsing a static build of the Body IQ knowledge graph, so everything loads with no backend. A few things that need the live server are turned off here:

  • Global search (sidebar) is disabled — it queries the API.
  • The JSON API and the API “Try it” playgroundaren’t included.
  • The data is a snapshot — it refreshes only when the demo is rebuilt, not live from the database.

Everything else — the body map, progression ladders, coverage heatmap, exercise finder, and all anatomy/exercise/source pages — works fully. The full app (live search + API + database) runs from the source on GitHub.

Cervical Protraction

Cervical Intervertebral Joints (C2-C7) • Cervical Spine • sagittal plane

Reviewed90%

Anterior translation of the head on the neck (forward-head posture). Upper cervical extension with lower cervical flexion. Treated as a postural observation, not a therapeutic training target — see notes.

Axis: medial-lateral

Clinical context

Clinical context: cervical protraction is an observational/postural finding, not a therapeutic training target. Literature treats forward-head posture as the condition to reduce via craniocervical flexion training — not as a movement to train. No evidence-based exercises load this pattern as a goal.
