Pro Tip

Gentle Movements: When performing the forward flexion neck stretch, use slow, gentle movements. Avoid jerking or forcing your neck into position. This is a common mistake that can lead to injury. Instead, gradually lower your chin towards your chest until you feel a stretch in the back of your neck. Hold and Breathe: Hold the stretch for about 15-30 seconds. Remember to breathe normally during this time. Holding your breath can increase tension and decrease the effectiveness of the stretch. Repeat: Repeat the stretch 2-4 times. Don’t rush through the repetitions. Take your time to ensure each stretch is performed correctly and safely. Listen to Your Body: Avoid pushing too hard. If you feel pain or discomfort, ease off
