Morning Neck Stiffness Routine
–
Ever wake up with neck stiffness or just feeling tight? If so, I got a simple and easy neck routine that will improve your overall mobility and decrease stiffness to get your day started on the right foot.
–
Neck Circles – Simply make full range circles clockwise and counterclockwise. If you feel a pinch anywhere within this range then perform small circles before advancing to larger ones.
–
Cervical Retraction with Extension – Take head straight back like someone with bad breath came too close to your face. Funny cue I know, but it helps! Then, extend back and perform small rotations at end range.
–
Scalene Stretch – First depress shoulder with one hand. Then, side bend head away from depressed shoulder until you feel a stretch. At this point, you can flex and extend the neck to bias the different scalene muscles.
