Abstract
A neck exercise apparatus comprises a thin elongate leaf spring spanning between two supports. One or both of the supports includes a clamping actuator configured for clamping the leaf spring to the support during exercise. The actuator is also configured for releasing the clamping force, thereby permitting adjustment of the position of the support along the length of the leaf spring. Lower ends of the supports are configured to permit the supports to pivot over a flat support surface as the leaf spring is flexed during exercise.
