Neck stretching is an exercise that can help stretch the neck. It is very helpful for the neck and there are many ways to do it. For example, find a flat surface and lie on your back with your knees bent. Put your hands behind your head, then pull your head forward and try to get your chin close to your chest. Note that during this series of movements, your shoulders should be pressed down and not moved up. There are some that have the same movements as above, the only difference is that the shoulder blades should be kept close to the ground, which is different from pressing down the shoulders. Move your neck to the right so that your chin is parallel to your right shoulder. Sit in a simple position with your legs crossed naturally. Inhale, slowly turn your head to the right, so that your chin is parallel to your right shoulder, and feel the left side of your neck being effectively stretched. Hold for 3-5 breaths. Exhale at the end and return your head to a neutral position. (Note: Relax your shoulders downwards and keep your body centered when turning your head, and do not move with your head) Move your neck to the left so that your chin is parallel to your left shoulder. Sit in a simple position with your legs crossed naturally. Inhale, slowly turn your head to the left, so that your chin is parallel to your left shoulder, and feel the right side of your neck being effectively stretched. Hold for 3-5 breaths. Exhale at the end and return your head to a neutral position. (Note: Relax your shoulders downwards and keep your body centered when turning your head, and do not move with your head) Stretch the left side of your neck so that your right ear is looking toward your right shoulder. Sit in a simple position with your legs crossed naturally. Exhale, tilt your head to the right, find your right shoulder with your right ear, and slightly retract your jaw. Inhale and try to stretch the left side of your neck while keeping your spine long. Hold for a few breaths. Inhale at the end and return your head to a neutral position. (Note: Relax your shoulders and feel the stretch on the side of your neck) Another method is to lie on your back, place your hands flat on both sides of your body, and then push the ground with your palms, trying your best to lift your hips and legs off the ground, stretch your legs upwards, and bend your elbows. There is another procedure that is the same as this one, but with an additional step at the end, where you spread your legs apart and slowly lower them to the ground. |
