Pro Tip

**Slow and Steady**: When you begin the stretch, slowly tilt your head back to look at the ceiling. Avoid jerking or sudden movements as they can strain your neck muscles. The movement should be smooth and controlled. **Maintain Posture**: It's important to keep your shoulders relaxed and down, not hunched up towards your ears. This will allow for a more effective stretch and help to avoid unnecessary strain on your neck and shoulder muscles. **Hold and Release**: Once your head is tilted back, hold the position for about 5-10 seconds. You should feel a gentle stretch in your neck, not pain. If you feel pain, you've tilted your head back too far. Gradually release
