Try these 3 moves to undo the stiffness and get your neck feeling lighter:
1️⃣Neck Roll
Gently rolling your neck helps release built-up tension in the muscles around your cervical spine. It also increases blood flow, which can ease stiffness from looking at screens all day.
2️⃣Lateral Neck Stretch with Shoulder Roll
Stretching the side of your neck while rolling your shoulder down deepens the release. This helps reset posture, relax tight traps, and open up movement in your shoulders.
3️⃣Traps SMR (Self-Myofascial Release)
Using a ball against the wall or floor, target the upper traps where tension loves to build. Releasing this area can instantly make your neck feel looser and your posture more upright.
Neck tension can affect how you move, lift, and even breathe. Just a few minutes of these focused moves can help you feel like a rockstar again.
Save this for after long hours at your desk or anytime you catch yourself tensing up.
