3 Trusty Neck Stretches for When You’re in a Pinch

The ones I recommend to all my clients as a kinesiologist.

If you’re like most human beings, chances are you spend a considerable amount of time each day staring at your phone or computer. Combine this with the stress and poor sleep we often experience, and you have a recipe for frequent soreness and pain around the neck and traps. It’s safe to say our bustling 21st-century lives are not friendly to this region of the body.

To help mend this rocky relationship with the neck, I want to provide you with a few simple neck stretches to combat the wearing effects of everyday life.

Whether you’re between meetings at the office or grinding out a red-eye flight, bust these out and your symptoms are bound to calm down.
