Stretching Exercises

  • After 48 hours of protecting the neck, begin gentle stretching exercises.
  • Improve the tone of the neck muscles with 2 or 3 minutes of gentle stretching exercises per day such as touching the chin to each shoulder, touching the ear to each shoulder, and moving the head forward and backward.
  • Don't apply any resistance during these stretching exercises.
