Benefits of Side Neck Stretch
Improved Strength and Flexibility: Regular neck stretching helps to increase the strength, tone, and flexibility of the neck muscles. It also helps the ligaments in the neck joints become more flexible, making them better able to withstand stress.
Posture Correction: Poor posture often causes the head and shoulders to drift forward, which tightens muscles in the chest and neck. This stretch can help loosen these postural muscles, potentially reducing neck pain caused by these postural issues.
Neck Pain Relief: Stretching exercises can alleviate neck tension and reduce discomfort, particularly in those with tight or overstressed neck muscles due to poor posture or prolonged sitting.
