Neck Stretch and relax techniqueThe neck stretch can be done before exercise but could also be done every day, especially if working on a computer all day. This stretch can help relieve everyday stresses and strains, and help through headaches. Although you should be careful if you have any neck problems at all.
How to do the Neck Stretch* Sit down on a comfortable chair and relax the shoulders. While breathing deeply let your head drop down slowly forwards until you feel the muscles in the back of the neck pull slightly. Hold this position for 10 seconds, then return back to the start. Push your head backwards slowly until you feel a slight stretch in the front of the neck, again hold for a count of 10. Return back to the start. Now repeat the process for the sides of the neck. Once completed you can try lowering the head again but this time roll the head around slowly three times, keep a straight back and breath deeply at all times. Do not strain and be careful not to force the stretches in the neck, make sure this stretch is easy!
* Remember it's much safer to under stretch than to overstretch. Always remain within the comfortable stretch zone. Never go to the point where you cannot possibly stretch any more as this could do more harm than good! If you feel any pain or discomfort at any stage of the stretch then stop the stretch immediately! Never force a stretch even if you are attempting to increase flexibility.
