Instructions

1. Stand or sit upright in a comfortable position with your feet flat on the floor and your hands at your sides or in your lap.

2. Gently tilt your head to one side, aiming to bring your ear closer to the shoulder without raising the shoulder.

3. Hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds, allowing the muscles on the side of your neck to stretch. You should feel a gently pull, but no pain.

4. Slowly return your head to the neutral position.

5. Repeat the stretch on the opposite side.

6. Perform the stretch 2-3 times on each side.

Make sure to keep the rest of your body relaxed and avoid lifting your shoulders towards your ears. The stretch should be gentle, without any force applied.
