NECK EXERCISES - PART 2

Lets start something productive for the neck this new year 2016. My first article this year focussing on one of the most common yet painful problem is with neck. As discussed in my previous article , neck has a major role to play in most of our activities and it takes a toll. Stretches for the neck and strengthening it, is very important as it will keep all the pain and stiffness away and will not stray towards major problems.

SO LETS BEGIN:


1.NECK LATERAL BENDING WITH HAND PRESSURE:

As you get used to working your neck while breathing in a lateral position, Help of hand pressure can be applied. All you need to do is to get your palm on the side of your head, the pressure needs to be just enough to produce a range of motion easily in beginning. Just exhaling and bending the neck in the lateral movement and inhaling and coming back in the normal position while applying a resisting pressure from your palm.Its more like the palm is stopping your neck to do a side bend  you can do this about 10 times to start and move ahead with time.


2. NECK EXTENSION AND FLEXION:

Similar to the stretch in the previous article, a slight resisting pressure of the hand is applied to create strength. Exhaling and moving in the movement where resisting pressure of the hand is applied and inhaling and coming back in the normal position. Both the extension and flexion movement is targeted for it.


3. SIDE EXTENSION USING HAND:

All we need to do here is apply a pressure from your palm against the chin and while exhaling bring back the head in the straight normal position. Repeat the other side, Both left and right side stretch and applying  resisting pressure along with breathing will help bring in more strength and less pain.




MOVING FROM SIMPLE STRETCHES (PART 1) AND APPLYING PRESSURE TO CREATE STRENGTH IS NECESSARY FOR THE NECK MUSCLES TO HAVE A COMBINATION OF FLEXIBILITY AND STRENGTH TO BEAT THE STIFFNESS OF NECK IN EVERYDAY ACTIVITIES. YOU CAN APPLY THESE EXERCISES IN MORNING AND BEFORE YOU SLEEP.
