Representing extended periods of time or sitting at a desk all the time can take a toll on your neck. To avoid or decrease tightness and discomfort, attempt basic neck extends throughout the day.
For the very first stretch, lower your chin to your chest while keeping your shoulders great and straight. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. You'll feel stress in the back of your neck. Unwind and gradually raise your chin to the beginning position.
Next, turn your head to one side while keeping your shoulders good and straight. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. You'll feel stress in the side of your neck and your shoulder. Unwind and gradually go back to the beginning position. Turn your head to the opposite and repeat the stretch.
Next, tilt your head so that you're moving your ear towards your shoulder. Do not bring your shoulder approximately your ear. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds. You'll feel stress in the side of your neck. Unwind and gradually go back to the beginning position. Tilt your head to the opposite and repeat the stretch.
When you're extending, keep it mild. Breathe easily as you hold each stretch, and beware not to bounce. Anticipate to feel stress while you're extending. If you feel discomfort, you've gone too far.
