- Neck Rotation: Gently rotate your neck to one side, hold, and then rotate to the other side.
- Upper Back Stretches:
- Shoulder Blade Squeezes: Sit or stand straight, squeeze your shoulder blades together, hold briefly, and then release.
- Upper Back Stretch: Interlace your fingers and stretch your arms forward, rounding your upper back.
- Chest Openers:
- Pectoral Stretch: Clasp your hands behind your back, squeeze your shoulder blades together, and lift your arms gently.
- Chin Tucks:
- Sit up straight, then gently tuck your chin towards your chest, hold briefly, and release. This helps to stretch the back of the neck.
