At Home Neck Exercises
The following are some basic neck exercises that can be done at home or
while you are at work. If you should have any signs of dizziness, nausia,
loss of balance, or fainting, you should contact your physician
immediately!!!
(Your Goal)
Neck Stretches
1. Bring your ear to your shoulder
2. Let your neck to sit in that position for 5 to 7 secs
3. Force your ear toward your shoulder.
3. Feel the stretch of your neck muscle on the opposite side.
Same principle as the exercise before...
1. Bring head back as if you are looking toward the ceiling.
2. Feel the stretch in the muscles located on the front part of your
neck.
If this exercise causes dizziness,fainting or loss of balance, STOP
THE EXERCISE AND CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN
Not the best picture in the world to represent the type of stretch I feel is most
beneficial but anyhow;
1. Rotate your head toward your (R or L) shoulder and then
2. Nod your head down and you will feel a stretch on the opposite side of which
you are looking. Just hold for a few seconds and repeat.
Neck exercises for strength
1. Put ypur hand on your forehead and force
your forehead against your hand to provide
resistance. You can do this in several sets of
6, 8, or 10 repetitions
Place your hands on the back of your neck
and force your head back while providing
ressitance with your hands
Very Basic and I know most of us have heard of these exercises before. Do these exercises in
several sets of 6, 8, or 10 several times a day and you will be surprised at the amount of flexibility
that returns in a couple of months but this is something you must fall in love with and do them. If
you have recently been in a car accident you might want to be extra careful due to the simple fact
you muscle were more stretch or strain than you might realize and you would need to be check by a
chiropractor in your area.
Same principle as above but you are placing your
hand against the side of your head to provide a
resistance for strengthening those muscle in the
upper should and the side of your neck
