Exercise Overview
This exercise uses a weight to assist in elongating the muscles of the neck. Start by holding a weight with the hand that’s on the same side of the neck that you want to target. This exercise can be done standing or seated. From here use your free hand to pull your head away from the side holding the weight. You may change the angle of the stretch depending on where you want to feel the stretch.
