Gentle Neck Rotations
Neck mobility, cervical spine health, tension relief
Why it works
Gentle neck rotations maintain cervical range of motion and relieve tension from desk work. The key is staying within comfortable range, because the neck responds better to gentle, frequent movement than aggressive stretching.
How to do it
- Stand or sit tall. Relax your shoulders
- Slowly turn your head side to side in easy arcs
- Stay well within your comfortable range and keep the movements gentle
- Move within total comfort — range is not the goal
