Top 5 exercises to improve your neck posture
Improving the neck portion is not easy so follow these five simple exercises to improve your posture today.
1. Chin Tucks::This exercise helps to correct forward head posture by strengthening the deep neck flexor muscles. Sit or stand with good posture, then gently pull your chin back, as if creating a double chin. Hold for a few seconds and repeat.
2. Neck Tilts: Gently tilt your head to one side, bringing your ear towards your shoulder. You should feel a stretch on the opposite side of your neck. Hold for a few seconds and repeat on the other side. This helps improve neck flexibility.
3. Shoulder Rolls: Roll your shoulders forward and then backward in a circular motion. This helps release tension in the neck and shoulder muscles.
4. Neck Extensions: Lie on your stomach with your head hanging off the edge of a bed or table. Gently lift your head upwards, feeling a stretch in the back of your neck. Hold for a few seconds and repeat. This strengthens the neck extensors.
5. Cat-Cow Stretch: Start on your hands and knees. Inhale as you drop your belly towards the floor and lift your chest and chin (cow pose). Exhale as you round your spine towards the ceiling, tucking your chin to your chest (cat pose). This dynamic stretch improves spinal mobility and can help relieve neck tension.
