Kneeling Neck Stretch

How to Perform Kneeling Neck Stretch Start by kneeling on the ground with your knees hip-width apart and your back straight. Place both hands flat on the ground in front of you for support. Gently tilt your head forward, bringing your chin towards your chest. Then, slowly lift your head back up and tilt it backward, extending your neck in a controlled manner. Make sure to keep your hands on the ground for stability during the movement. Hold each position for 10-20 seconds and return to the neutral position. Repeat the movement for a few repetitions.

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.
