It's important that you try to stretch your neck as much as possible, several times each day. When you need a rest, lie on the floor with your pelvis tilted up and your feet elevated.
Neck Stretch #1
This will strengthen muscles in the sides of your neck.
Grasp the back of your head with your right hand.
Pull your head forward and to the right.
Repeat with your left hand.
Neck Stretch #2
This will strengthen more of your neck's side muscles.
Place your right hand over your left ear.
Pull your head to the right.
Repeat to the left.
Neck Stretch #3
This exercise lengthens muscles in the back of your neck.
Interlace your fingers behind your head.
Gently pull your head forward and down toward your chest muscles.
Neck Stretch #4
This stretch lengthens muscles along the front of your neck.
- Drop your head backward to extend your neck. Let your head drop naturally without forcing it.
