Have you been suffering from agonising neck pain that’s been stopping you from socialising with friends and family, doing sports, or even going to work?

I appreciate how debilitating this is, and this is why you need to take care of this problem before it gets worse.

Neck pain is commonly caused by poor sleeping habits, prolonged sitting, or strain from carrying heavy objects.

The good news is that there are ways to relieve the pain and get you back to your daily activities, including exercises.

Read this blog to find five of the best neck pain exercises that will help you alleviate your pain and get you back to living your life.

The Best Neck Pain Exercises

If you’re suffering from neck pain then I know how it’s affected your life in so many ways.

You probably can’t drive for a long time, can’t exercise, and even sleeping doesn’t bring you any relief as you wake up in more pain.

Here are some great neck pain exercises that can help you relieve some of your pain.

Neck Rotation

One of the easiest neck pain exercises you can find is the rotation exercise. It can hurt a little but it’s meant to feel like this.

This exercise strengthens your neck muscles, improves flexibility, and increases your range of motion.

To perform the neck rotation exercise, slowly turn your head to the side, then hold for 5 seconds, and repeat to the other side.

You can repeat the exercise for 10-15 reps.

Chin Tuck

Chin tuck is also among great exercises for neck pain and it works for other body parts as well!

This exercise can help release tension in your neck, shoulders, and head.

Start by sitting or standing up straight, then slowly and gently tuck your chin in, keeping your ears over your shoulders.

You can do this exercise for 30 seconds to a minute, repeating for 3-5 sets.

Shoulder Blade Squeeze

You may be thinking that shoulder exercises shouldn’t be on the list of neck pain exercises, but this one really does bring pain relief to your aching neck.

This exercise strengthens the muscles in your upper back and helps improve your posture.

To perform this exercise, sit or stand up straight, then squeeze your shoulder blades together, hold for five seconds, and repeat for 10-15 reps.

Doorway Stretch

This stretch can help you open your chest and elongate your neck muscles.

It may seem at first that it’s not the best of neck pain exercises, but you will really get the relief you’ve been looking for.

Start by standing in the doorway, placing both hands on either side of the door frame, and leaning forward from your hips.

Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and repeat 2-3 times.

Seated Neck Stretch

This exercise is great for stretching your neck muscles and relieving tension in your spine.

Start by sitting in a chair, then tilt your head to one side, bringing your ear towards your shoulder.

Hold the stretch for 20 seconds, then repeat for the other side. You can repeat this stretch for 2-3 reps.
