Description

Sit up straight on a chair with good back support. Place one hand along your rib cage and collarbone on the tense side. Gently tuck in your chin, then tilt your head to the opposite side of the tension while turning your head towards the tense side. Keep your chin tucked and slightly retract your head to feel a stretch at the front of your neck. Return to the starting position and repeat the movement. To enhance the stretch, you can use your opposite hand to apply gentle pressure on the back of your head.
