Minimum Effective Dose
30s
The shortest time that still creates real, measurable change. Hit the dose and the benefit starts. Everything after is bonus.
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
Easy arcs.
Stop well before stretch. Let the neck find its own range. Move within total comfort.
- Slowly rotate your head side to side
- Stop well before any stretch or discomfort
- Let the neck find its own range
- Move within total comfort — range is not the goal
