The neck is a slender structure. The muscles around the neck can easily get tensed, because of long hours of sitting in front of a table. The usage of gadgets promotes head-forward position, leading to fatigue around the neck. Here is a simple technique to provide relief to the neck.
METHOD
• Take a stability ball of 30cm diameter
• Sit upright on your heels
• Keep the ball in front
• Lie on your chest and hold the ball
• Raise your neck and upper back with the support of your elbows
• Roll the ball towards the neck
• Extend the neck backwards, and position the ball against the chin and the throat
• Slowly release the hands and stretch them sideways
• Press the ball against the chin and extend the neck further
• Stay for about 60 seconds with slow abdominal breathing
• Take the arms up, hold the ball, roll it forward and relax the neck
• Repeat
