Neck Stretches as You Travel This Holiday: Prevent Neck Pain Now

Neck pain can one of the most dreaded side effects of holiday travel, but this year you can prevent that problem with the help of special neck stretches. The goal of neck stretching routines is to help stop the pain before it even has a chance to start. Here are some of the top ways to stretch your neck before you travel this holiday.

The neck roll is a great way to loosen up a stiff neck and help prevent pain. Simply start with the chin on the chest and gently perform a complete neck roll. Repeat in the opposite direction. Try several sets of these exercises to loosen up.

Try the Levator Scapulae stretch to loosen up your neck and upper shoulder area. Begin by reaching up to put your right hand on your left ear. Gently but firmly pull down on your head, moving it to the right. Hold this position for several seconds, and then repeat with the opposite side. Shoot for a set of three stretches on each side.
