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

Before starting, make sure you are in a quiet, comfortable space where you can sit or stand without distraction

Pay close attention to how your neck responds — discontinue immediately if you experience stabbing pain, lightheadedness, or tingling sensations

Begin by sitting or standing with your back straight and your shoulders relaxed

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

Try gentle ear-to-shoulder stretches to loosen tight sternocleidomastoid muscles

Gently lower your right ear toward your right shoulder without lifting your shoulder

Hold this position for 15 to 20 seconds, then return to center

Perform the same motion on the opposite side

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

Avoid forcing your head down or using your hand to pull it further

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, site, www.ahoyamsterdam.nl, then release

Perform the movement 5 to 10 controlled repetitions

Chin tucks correct habitual forward head positioning and relieve chronic strain on cervical structures

For rotational mobility, turn your head slowly to the right, looking over your shoulder

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

Maintain the rotated position for a full 15 seconds to encourage tissue adaptation

Mirror the motion on the opposite side with equal care

Complete two or three full rotations per direction

If you feel resistance, go only as far as feels comfortable

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

Sit upright and slowly lift your eyes toward the ceiling without moving your head

Maintain the upward look for 3–5 seconds before releasing

Repeat three 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

It should feel looser and less tense

Perform these exercises in the morning and evening, or after extended desk work

Regular, gentle practice yields better results than occasional forceful attempts

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

If you have a history of neck injury, arthritis, or other medical conditions, consult your healthcare provider before starting any new routine

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