About this routine

Tension loves to gather in the neck and shoulders, especially when you're hunched over a screen. This routine combines gentle mobilizers and a back opener to ease that buildup. Move slowly and never force a stretch — the goal is a soft, steady release.

FAQ

My neck clicks when I stretch — is that normal?

Mild clicking without pain is usually harmless. If you feel pain, numbness, or dizziness, stop and consult a professional.

How long until I feel relief?

Many people feel looser after one session, but lasting relief comes from doing these moves regularly throughout the week.
