Our necks work hard every day, supporting the weight of our heads while helping us move, look, drive, work, and stay connected to the world around us. Unfortunately, long hours spent looking at phones, tablets, computers, and even poor posture can lead to stiffness, tension, reduced mobility, and discomfort.
In this edition of WellBEing Wins, Debbey Woodruff shares six tension-releasing exercises designed to help improve flexibility, increase circulation, relieve muscle tightness, and support healthy neck movement. Today’s routine includes The Ostrich Stretch, Neck Turn-Ups, Neck Turn-Ups with Tilts, Neck Extension, Neck Traction, and a bonus relaxation technique that work together to gently release built-up tension while encouraging better posture and mobility.
Whether you’re feeling tight from a day at the computer, carrying stress in your shoulders and neck, or simply want to maintain a healthy range of motion, these easy exercises can help you show a little love to one of the hardest-working parts of your body—your neck.
As always, move within your comfort level and consult your healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise routine.
