What are the neck exercises?

Friends who often have to work at a desk or drive for a long time will experience neck discomfort. If you maintain poor posture for a long time, it can also lead to cervical spondylosis. People who regularly exercise their cervical spine are less likely to suffer from cervical spondylosis than those who never exercise their cervical spine. It is easy to suffer from cervical spondylosis, but it is not easy to completely cure it. In order to solve health problems, let’s take a look at some ways to exercise your neck!

Steps/Methods

1. Preparation: You can sit cross-legged on a mat or on a chair, with your back straight, your neck stretched as far as possible, your jaw slightly retracted, your arms relaxed and hanging down, and your shoulders slightly open backwards. Feel the whole body fully stretched, hold for 5 seconds, and then slowly relax.

Be careful not to close your eyes and look forward. Forward bend: From the preparatory position, slowly bend your neck forward and lower your head. Open your shoulders and pull your shoulders backward until the neck and shoulder muscles feel tight. Hold for 5 seconds, then slowly relax and return to the original position. If you already have neck discomfort, it is not recommended to do the backward leaning movement in the "M" exercise to avoid aggravating the symptoms.

2. Left-side pose: From the preparatory pose, slowly tilt your head to the left, feeling your left ear close to your left shoulder, until the muscles on the right side of your neck and shoulder feel tense. At the same time, stretch your right arm downward as far as you can, keeping your spine straight, then slowly relax and return to the preparatory pose.

3. Right Pose: From the preparatory position, slowly tilt your head to the right, bringing your right ear and right shoulder close to each other. Opposite to the left side, the action

4. Left turn: From the preparatory position, twist your head to the left and try to look behind your body, but do not turn your body. Hold for 5 seconds and return to the original position.

5. Right Turn: From the preparatory position, the head twists to the right, which is opposite to the left turn in the opposite direction, but the movements are the same.

All of the above exercises can help exercise the neck. If you can persist in doing these exercises for a long time, cervical spondylosis can be effectively relieved. While exercising, massaging and applying hot compress to the neck can also relieve the condition. As long as you can persist, cervical spondylosis will not continue to bother you, and the effect will definitely be better than treatment in the hospital.
