“Prepare For A Painless Journey Into Less Aches!” TOP 2 EXERCISES FOR NECK PAIN
CERVICAL RETRACTION Cervical retraction may comprise part of your home exercise program if you have spinal arthritis, or you need to strengthen your neck muscles. It is also good for stretching or loosening the muscles at the back of your neck. How it’s done: Stand with your back against a wall. Position a rolled up towel behind your neck. Tuck chin like you are nodding ‘yes’. Draw your chin closer to the back of your throat. Repeat 3 times. SCALENE STRETCH Neck stretches and regular range of motion exercises are necessary to maintain a normal range of motion in the neck, maintain good posture, and prevent neck injuries. If you sit at a desk for several hours a day the joints in the neck would benefit from the movement. Neck stretching exercises are particularly useful in sports such as swimming, boxing, golf, wrestling, and any contact sport whereby the head or neck may come into contact with another player or any sport where full pain free range of motion is necessary for optimum performance. How it’s done: Placeyourhandsoverlappingonyourbreastbone.Next,tiltyour head upwards and away from the affected side until a gentle stretch is felt along the front and side of your neck. Repeat 3 times on each side.
