Your neck is a delicate area of your body and it can be really easy to cause a strain and even make your pain worse by pulling too hard or pushing when your muscles simply don\u2019t allow it.<br \/>\nStart by finding a comfortable seat and elongating your spine. Make sure you\u2019re not hunched and send your shoulders away from your ears. Interlace your hands behind your head, inhale to prepare and on your exhale, gently pull your head down, chin toward your chest. Stay here for a few inhales and exhales and then slowly come back to the starting position.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ThermaCare-Portable-Heating-Shoulder-Patches\/dp\/B09LHXQBVR?tag=lsmedia-13187-20&amp;asc_refurl=https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/154438\/6-stretches-for-neck-pain\/\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51wtopWn1jL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ear_to_Shoulder\"><\/span>Ear to Shoulder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p> Sit straight and send your shoulders far away from your ears, relaxing your entire upper body.

If the flexibility of your neck muscles doesn\u2019t allow it, don\u2019t push it. Go as far as it\u2019s comfortable for you and focus on your breath.<br \/>\nThe deeper your breath, the more relaxed the area so you can notice your head dropping closer to your shoulder with every exhale.

Inhale and gently push your head back with your fingers, letting it fall as far as it will go. Stay here and breathe. Avoid moving your head left and right to prevent any nerve pinches.
