- [00:00:02.125]If you're having some neck pain and
- [00:00:03.895]stiffness, here are a few easy stretches
- [00:00:06.116]to start trying at home to see if it
- [00:00:07.986]helps. First one is tipping your ear to
- [00:00:10.686]your shoulder. So you can tip gently to
- [00:00:13.806]the side and you can perform both
- [00:00:16.736]directions. You can also, for some added
- [00:00:19.966]stretch, use your hand to gently pull
- [00:00:23.203]to give a little more stretch to this
- [00:00:25.993]muscle here. You can also turn
- [00:00:29.723]either direction and look over your
- [00:00:31.323]shoulder. Again, just to get a gentle
- [00:00:34.693]stretch on the muscles around your
- [00:00:37.133]neck. You can also utilize a towel with
- [00:00:41.292]some downward pressure and,
- [00:00:43.325]combining those motions with the towel
- [00:00:46.209]can give you some extra stretch.
- [00:00:49.445]So folding up a towel like so, and draping
- [00:00:55.195]it over your shoulder, keeping it nice and
- [00:00:57.395]close to your neck. You can give the
- [00:01:00.275]towel a gentle downward pressure
- [00:01:02.658]as you perform those same motions
- [00:01:06.327]to just get a little more stretch through
- [00:01:08.507]you neck. If you find these stretches
- [00:01:11.407]helpful but you still feel like you need
- [00:01:13.267]more help, contact the health center
- [00:01:15.017]to schedule an appointment with
- [00:01:16.397]physical therapy or check out the website
