My favorite daily exercise for easy neck pain relief is a chin tuck. It’s great for the neck, shoulder, it can help relieve headaches, and it can even help correct posture. Chin tucks are not only a great neck pain relief exercise, but they are also a great stretch for the neck as well. See more ways to relieve neck pain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvv8pOEADYo
Neck pain can be caused by many things. Several of the muscles in the neck area go down into the shoulder as well. Often weak and tight muscles can cause neck pain.

Got neck pain? Well, I'm going to show you one exercise to do
every day to relieve that pain. So let's get started. So this is
a great exercise and slash stretch. If you have neck pain,
ideally, you want to do a whole program that's specific to you
given by your doctor or your physical therapist. But if
you're on the go, and you really just want to strengthen your
neck and stretch out your neck, this is a great exercise. And
you can really do it anywhere. And if you watch any of my
videos, you know that my favorite neck exercise is a chin
tuck. It's great for neck pain is great for neck tightness.
It's great for headaches, and it's great to improve your
posture. So it's a really great exercise to do. Chin tucks
shouldn't hurt. So if it hurts, or if you start feeling like
some numbness and tingling down your arm, definitely check in
with your physical therapist or your doctor because you've
probably got something a little more significant going on. And
again, you might need your own program to really get that
worked out. So a chin tuck, all it is, is you just want to keep
your chin in a neutral position right here. You can do chin
tucks and other ways. But starting off, you want to try
and keep it in a neutral position. And all you're doing
is you're just tucking back your whole head. So it's not chin
tuck down. But it's chin tuck back in. So almost imagine that
you're behind like a wall is behind you, you can do this
behind a wall to practice. And all I'm doing is I'm just
pushing my whole head back and in. And so I get a little bit of
chance right here. If you've seen some of my videos, I like
starting off using a target like your finger because it just kind
of helps you figure it out a little bit more. So if you just
place your finger on your chin here, leave your finger there
and pull back, hold it for about three to five seconds. And then
when you relax, a lot of times there's a little bit of space in
between. And that just means you're kind of resetting those
muscles. And that's, that's a good thing to show that maybe
you're doing a little bit more of this every day, and that's
causing some neck pain, especially if you're on the
computer or if you're gaming people tend to go closer to the
computer screen. So really, these are great to do
everywhere. I do and when I'm stopped at a red light in a car,
because then I can just kind of push back into the headrest. So
if you're having some extra pain with the chin tuck, if you do
place your head like against a wall or something and just push
in more like an isometric exercise that might be less
painful and it'll be a great way to start loosening up those
muscles and decrease that neck pain. So there you have it.
That's one exercise to do everyday to relieve neck pain.
