We know what it is like to experience neck tension, stiffness or headaches and wanting neck pain relief.

Exercise to experience relief from neck tension.

Why you want to address neck pain now

Neck stiffness, tension or spasm can be very painful and limit your ability to move, sleep or exercise comfortably and is commonly an issue that you don’t have to put up with.

Think about how much better you would feel if you didn’t feel this way.

Would it improve your mood, focus or just general enjoyment of life?

Most musculoskeletal problems, such as neck pain are easier and quicker to address if you start the process sooner.

Once muscular guarding or spasm is established, it can be harder to get on top of.

Now is a great opportunity to make some small changes in order to improve you neck mobility.

Neck pain is incredibly common and it seems to be on the increase, if our patients experiences are reflecting the wider community experience.

The combined effect of increased stress and more times on screens, either working or studying from home, or the office are common contributing factors.

While you may not be able to change everything that is happening in the world right now, you can be proactive about desk set up.

By taking regular breaks, engaging in stress relieving activities and doing some movements to support your neck and back, you can start to feel better, sooner.

What you need right now are simple at home based exercises that you can do at your desk, with limited space and no equipment in order to make positive change.

If you’re home schooling, you may also be feeling a little time poor, so being time efficient is also incredibly important.

Learn to listen to your body sensations to improve your posture, tension and experience relaxation

Take note of the sensations you experience in your body as you perform these gentle movements in the neck, spine and shoulders.

You may notice pressure, pulling, tingling, dragging or other subtle tissue responses as you go.

Listen into your body and allow it to tell you how you feel, this may be on a physical or an emotional level.

Whatever you are feeling is valid and it is an opportunity to acknowledge what is currently happening in your body.

Over the course of the video, you may start to feel a sense of lightness, letting go or freedom of motion in different parts of your body.

Sometimes people report a change to their mental state, such as clarity or focus.

Remember whatever you experience is your experience, it is not right or wrong.

You may sense a change to your breathing cycle or feel muscular tightness slowly release or melt away.

Observe how you feel before and after the exercises

It’s an opportunity to observe how different you can feel before and after.

Some people find repeating the process for a few days brings about more neck or back relief than just doing it once.

Changes may include a sense of flexibility, comfortable while performing the range of motion, increasing ability to move, or a sense of less pressure, spasm or tension.

If at any stage, you feel uncomfortable or a sense of increasing pain, you should take some time out and pause the video.

It may be better to try again at another time.

If you feel any clicking or grinding, if it is not painful or bothering you, it is okay to continue if you feel safe to do so.
