If you’re experiencing neck tightness from sitting at a desk or looking down at your phone, this simple neck stretch can help release tension and improve flexibility.
How to Do the Neck Stretch
- Sit up straight in a comfortable chair with your shoulders relaxed.
- Tilt your head gently to one side, bringing your ear closer to your shoulder.
- Tuck your chin slightly, as if you’re nodding gently.
- Draw your shoulders down toward the floor to deepen the stretch.
- Hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds, breathing deeply.
- Repeat on the other side.
If one side of your neck feels tighter, you can repeat the stretch on that side a second time.
Benefits of the Neck Stretch
- Helps relieve neck and shoulder tension
- Improves posture and range of motion
- Supports spinal alignment
- Can help reduce headaches and muscle fatigue
This stretch is a great addition to your daily routine, especially if you spend long hours at a computer or in the same position. Aim to perform this neck stretch 1–2 times per day to maintain flexibility and comfort.
