Overview
The neural mobility stretch is a good exercise for office workers and people with a tight neck and shoulders. It can be performed anywhere, at any time. When doing this exercise it helps to think of lengthening your neck, not just leaning to one side. When done properly and regularly the neural mobility stretch should help improve the range of motion in your neck.
Description
- Lengthen your neck by raising the top of your head up as high as possible and lowering both shoulders.
- Gently pull your head over to one side with the opposite hand.
- With the hanging hand, bend the wrist so that the palm faces up, and then turn the fingers to the rear.
- Repeat with the opposite side.
Mistakes
- Slouching
- Leaning the body to one side
