Neck Exercise

.. Next / Back

The neck is the part of the body, on many terrestrial or secondarily aquatic vertebrates, that distinguishes the head from the torso or trunk. The adjective (from Latin) signifying "of the neck" is cervical (though this more frequently used to describe the cervix).
 

...

1. With your head and neck in a neutral position (normal position with head erect facing forward), place your left hand on the left side of your head.
2. Now gently push towards the left as you contract the left neck muscles but resisting any movement of your head. Start with slow tension and increase slowly. Keep breathing normally as you execute this contraction.
3. Hold for the recommended number of seconds.
4. Now release the tension slowly.
5. Rest for the recommended amount of time and repeat with your right hand placed on the right side of your head.

Variations: You can also do this exercise by placing your hands to the front and then to the back of your head. First do one side and then the next.
