Doing mild neck movements in the comfort of your own space can ease muscle tightness, enhance range of motion, and alleviate strain from sedentary habits or mental stress

Ensure your surroundings are peaceful and free from interruptions so you can fully focus on your body’s signals during the exercise

Your safety comes first: if anything feels wrong — like sudden discomfort, spinning, or loss of sensation — halt the movement right away

Position yourself upright with a natural curve in your lower back and your arms hanging loosely at your sides

Allow your breath to guide your relaxation — let each exhale melt away residual tension

Begin with lateral neck flexion exercises

Avoid shrugging — let the stretch come from the side of your neck, not from raising your shoulder

Stay in the stretch for up to half a minute, allowing the muscle to gradually release

Perform the same motion on the opposite side

Repeat the movement 2–3 times for optimal effect on both sides

Let gravity and site - theterritorian.com.au - gentle control guide the movement — no pulling, no jerking

Incorporate the classic "double chin" correction

Sit or stand tall and slowly draw your chin straight back, as if you are making a double chin

You should feel a light stretch along the back of your neck

Hold for five seconds, then release

Repeat this five to ten times

This movement helps retrain your neck posture and reduces forward head strain

Gently rotate your head to the right, keeping your gaze focused behind you

Ensure your upper body remains still — only your head and neck should move

Pause for 10–15 seconds while breathing calmly, then slowly turn back

Mirror the motion on the opposite side with equal care

Complete two or three full rotations per direction

Respect your body’s limits; mobility improves gradually, not through force

Try a subtle upward eye movement to mobilize the upper cervical spine

Only your eyeballs should move — your head and spine remain aligned

Hold for a few seconds, then look forward again

Do this eye movement sequence three full times

It encourages mobility in the occipito-cervical region safely and effectively

After completing these movements, take a few deep breaths and notice how your neck feels

The sensation should be one of calm release, not increased tightness

Incorporate them regularly — particularly after hours spent looking at phones, computers, or books

Regular, gentle practice yields better results than occasional forceful attempts

Think of them as mindful self-care — not a workout

If you’ve had trauma, degenerative disease, or nerve issues, speak with your doctor or physical therapist first

Applying a heating pad or warm compress prior to stretching enhances blood flow and reduces stiffness
