Neck Exercise

😏cidpusa.org
This exercise can also be done in a sitting position—at the office, for example, or lying down with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your palm on your forehead and press gently as you try to bring your chin to your chest—your neck muscles will tighten without your head moving. Hold for a count of three to five seconds. Repeat 10 times.

You can also try and touch your ear to each shoiulder, without raising the shoulder. Extend your neck backwards and forwards. This will stretch the neck muscles and improve blood and lymph flow. If there is any headache massage the top of the head and the neck muscles for relief.

When the neck and upper back muscles become weakened, the head sags forward and increased stress is placed on the cervical spine, which can lead to neck pain. Strengthening these muscles can help improve posture and get the head closer to neutral position (with the ears directly over the shoulders).
