It’s no surprise that many of us feel tension in our necks and upper back throughout the day. That is the often that most of us tense in moments of higher stress, deep concentration, or often also due to our posture. To help ease that tightened feeling, try this seated neck stretch.
- Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the ground.
- Place your right hand on the top of your head and tilt your head to the right.
- Gently use the hand on your head to apply pressure to amplify the stretch.
- If you feel any pain, stop immediately.
- Hold the position for 15-30 seconds then slowly return your head to an upright position.
- Repeat on the left side, with the left hand to help deepen the stretch.
