The 3 Best Home Exercises You Can Do For Neck Pain

By keeping the spine mobile, your neck muscles don’t have to work so hard. Give these a try…

The Chin Tuck

1. Lie on the floor and put a loosely rolled-up towel under your neck. 2. Gently tuck in your chin and push the back of your neck onto the towel roll. 3. Hold for 5 seconds, and relax for 5 seconds. Do this 10–15 times.

Upper Back Extension Stretch

1. Stand tall and look straight ahead. Put your arms behind you and interlock your fingers. 2. Pull your arms back and gently push out your chest. 3. Hold for 5 seconds at time. Do 5–10 times.

Doorway Chest Stretch

1. Stand in a doorway, bend your elbows, and put them on the door jambs. 2. Slowly walk forward — don’t lean — until you feel some stretch. 3. Hold for 5–10 seconds. Do 5–10 at a time.
