Neck and Shoulder Stretches for Relief
Introduction
Neck and shoulder tension are common issues that can cause discomfort and pain. Fortunately, there are several simple stretches that can help relieve this tension and improve your range of motion.
Towel Neck Stretch
Hold a towel in both hands with the towel placed between your head and a weight plate. Move your head up by hyperextending. Overlap your hands and place them on your breastbone. Tilt your head upward and slightly to the left until you feel a gentle stretch. Hold the stretch for 10-15 seconds.
Shoulder Shrug
Stand with your right hand on the small of your back. Start with the head and neck in a neutral position. Lift both shoulders in a shrugging motion without moving the head or neck. Place your left palm flat against the left side of your head. Press your palm against your head as though trying to press your head to the right. Hold for 10-15 seconds.
Conclusion
These are just a few of the many stretches that can help relieve neck and shoulder tension. If you are experiencing significant pain, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
