How to Do the Head Forwards Stretch

This simple neck stretch will help you gain more flexibility in your neck and prevent the buildup of tension after a workout.

The neck muscles are very sensitive. Perform these moves slowly and with control. Don’t overstretch and pull unnecessarily as this may cause pain.

	STEP 1: Stand with feet hip-width apart or sit with your shoulders relaxed. Arms are relaxed by your sides. Keep your back straight.
	STEP 2: Gently drop your head forward until you feel the stretch in both the neck and upper back. Hold for 8-12 seconds.

This stretch will help you feel better after a long day and refresh you when you’re tired.
