Benefits of Kneeling Neck Stretch
Increases Flexibility: This stretch helps improve flexibility in the neck muscles and ligaments, promoting better range of motion in the cervical spine.
Relieves Tension: By gently moving the head forward and backward, it helps relieve neck tension, stiffness, and tightness often caused by poor posture or prolonged sitting.
Supports Posture: Regular practice of this stretch can help correct forward head posture by stretching and loosening the muscles that may become tight from looking down at screens or poor alignment.
Reduces Neck Pain: This exercise can help alleviate neck pain and discomfort, especially for individuals experiencing strain from working at a desk or other repetitive movements.
