Neck tightness can come from being stuck at a desk for long periods of time, stress or our posture. Addressing these posture, desk set up and stress will make a massive difference, but for long lasting relief incorperating strenghth and mobility will help take the stress and strain off the area's that are often overused
Over the next few months i will be giving you simple drills that you can incorporate daily that are super simple and easy to add into your day or warm up routine before your workouts.
The better your body moves as a whole to more you can push out of your workouts decreasing the risk of overuse or injuries
This first drill will help us work on rotation on the neck in a supine (laying down) position, allowing for our head to turn as far as we are able to without the pressure of gravity pushing straight down on the head.
You can do this in the morning or night i would recommend twice a day if possible to start with but once a day will be enough also depending on the amount of restriction you start with
Aim to do 10-15 each side moving slow and controlled and relaxing into each movement
