Side Push Neck Stretch

Overview

How to do it

1. 1

   Neck stretches are also used in physical therapy to help rehabilitate the neck muscles, joints, and bones. Neck stretches aim to improve the strength, tone, and flexibility of the neck muscles. They also help the ligaments around the neck joints become more flexible and tolerate greater stress in the area.

2. 2

   If the head and shoulders move forward because of poor posture, some muscles in the chest and neck can shorten and tighten over time. That can reinforce the poor posture causing neck pain. Neck stretching exercises can help release postural muscles and may reduce neck pain.
