Remember to be very careful with neck stretching exercises, and make sure you have a proper diagnosis from your doctor.

More Details About This Video:
If you are having some neck pain, stiffness, or tightness, check out this video for neck stretches. The neck muscles that are affected the most are your trapezius and levator scapulae muscles. People often describe neck pain as a crick in their neck. First start off with some gentle neck stretches by bringing your chin to your chest and then looking up towards the ceiling. This is neck flexion and extension. Next you are going to take your ear to your shoulder on each side. Make sure you are not shrugging your shoulders up. This is side bending. Then you are going to turn your head from side to side like you are looking over your shoulder. This is neck rotation. If that is not painful, then you can add some overpressure with your hands.

Now place your hand under your thigh to keep your shoulder down, then side bend your head to the opposite side and gently put pressure with your other hand to get a stretch through your trapezius muscles. Hold these for 30 seconds and perform 3 times on each side. The final stretch is going to be for your levator scapulae muscle. This is the muscle that is used when you shrug your shoulders, and they can get overworked when you are stressed out. Take your arm on the side of the pain and place it above and behind your shoulder. Then take your opposite arm and place on top and slightly behind your head. Look down towards the opposite knee of the pain and apply gentle pressure for a good stretch.

DISCLAIMER: Doctor Jo is a licensed Physical Therapist and Doctor of Physical Therapy, however, this video is only designed to help you perform the correct technique of exercises that have ALREADY been given to you by your health professional. They are NOT to take the place of going to your own doctor or therapist. There are many manual techniques that a therapist can do that simply can not be done on your own. Your own therapist will also ensure that you are doing correct techniques with your exercises and stretching. If these techniques aren’t done right, they won’t help, and they could make things worse. So, if you experience any pain while doing these techniques, STOP immediately and see your doctor.

Physical Therapist neck exercises from https://www.pelvicexercises.com.au with Physio Michelle who guides you through this 5 minute exercise routine to stretch your neck muscles and relieve tension in your neck and shoulders.

SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPQS5BOA_GLQKCc07ZCOjJg?sub_confirmation=1

Michelle Kenway presents a series of neck exercises that focus upon relieving commonly experienced areas of tension. The exercises presented are general neck exercises and should all feel comfortable and pain free. These exercises are not designed to treat specific neck conditions. Never stretch beyond the limits of personal comfort and immediately cease any neck exercises that are associated with any physical discomfort.

This exercise video guides you step by step through a number of basic neck exercises and techniques to relieve neck and shoulder muscles and improve posture.

Neck exercises demonstrated in this 5 minute exercise video:

Neck exercise 1 – Correct sitting posture for neck stretches

Sit with your spine lengthened and tall by lifting the crown of your head towards the ceiling, raising your sternum slightly and relaxing your shoulders back and down.

Neck exercise 2 – Shoulder rolls

Shoulder rolls are a nice way to relieve tension in the neck and shoulders. This exercise involves circular movements of the shoulder girdle forwards, upwards, backwards and down as if drawing circles with the shoulders. This exercise can be coordinated with breathing, breathing in as you raise your shoulders upwards and exhaling as you roll your shoulders back and down. It can be useful to use this exercise as a technique to relax your neck and shoulders and to set your correct posture.

Neck exercise 3 – Chin to chest

Chin to chest stretch is directed towards stretching and relieving the muscles at the back of the neck. Sit tall with your spine lengthened and gently lower your chin towards your chest as you breathe out. Repeat slowly and gently 3-4 times in a row.

Neck exercise 4 – Ear to shoulder stretch

This neck exercise involves directing the ear towards the shoulder to stretch and relieve tension in the muscles at the side of the neck. First correct your posture, stabilise or fix your left shoulder down by taking your left hand to hold under your chair. Slowly lower your right ear to your right shoulder keeping your nose facing forwards throughout. This neck exercise stretches the neck muscles in the left side of your neck. The stretch may be felt anywhere from below the left ear, the left side of the neck and into the left upper shoulder. This stretch can be gently maintained for 30-45 seconds, slowly released and repeated a couple of times in a row if desired. Ear to shoulder stretch can be performed on both sides of the neck.

Neck exercise 5 – Nose to armpit stretch

Nose to armpit stretch is a useful stretch for relieving the muscles that run from the head into the shoulder. First correct your posture, stabilise your shoulder girdle by grasping under the seat of your chair with your left hand and rotate your head towards the right, lowering your nose to your right armpit. You will feel a gentle stretch on the left side of your neck. This stretch can be gently maintained for 30-45 seconds, slowly released and repeated a couple of times in a row if desired. Perform this stretch on both sides of the neck.

Neck exercise 6 – Nose to opposite knee

Nose to opposite knee can stretch and relieve the muscles that run through the back of the neck into the top of the shoulder blade (these muscles lift the shoulder blade). Set your posture and stabilise your left shoulder down by taking your left hand to hold under your chair. Rotate your head slightly to the right and gently lower your nose towards your right knee. Nose to opposite knee stretch can be gently maintained for 30-45 seconds, slowly released and repeated a couple of times in a row if desired. Nose to opposite knee can be performed on both sides of the neck.

Upper back/shoulder exercise 7 – Forward reach

To stretch the muscles in your middle back between your shoulder blades, link your fingers together, roll your shoulders forwards and reach out in front of your body. Gently lower your chin to your chest to combine some additional neck stretch exercise.

Chest stretch exercise 8 – Arms behind body

To stretch your chest and assist good posture, link your fingers together behind your back. Raise your arms away from your back and lift your chest at the same time. You should feel a gentle stretch across the front of your chest.

Reset your posture to finish

To complete your neck exercises, roll your shoulders in circles a couple of times, coordinate this action with your breathing and reset your posture with your spine straight and your shoulders relaxed and down.
