What is the purpose of this exercise?
To strengthen the muscles of the neck which contract to retract the cervical spine (essentially making a double chin) and to improve our ability to hold the position while turning the head to look toward the side
*A big thing here is that the exercise is performed in a hands and knees position. By performing it this way rather than sitting or standing it reduces the compressive load on the neck due to gravity - meaning this should generally be easier and less painful and so a good entry point for someone with a lot of pain or weakness.
Why would you utilize it?
From a pain standpoint: Neck strengthening has been shown to be valuable for a variety of neck pain related conditions. Cervical retractor strengthening specifically will be helpful for the majority of neck pain conditions and may assist with treating tension headaches as well
From a performance standpoint: Neck strength is important for a variety of athletes such as wrestlers, football players, and any other contact athlete. A stronger neck has also been shown to reduce chance of sustaining a concussion
