Relieve Stress in Those Tense Neck Muscles

Slaving away at the keyboard makes your neck tense. Roll away that fatigue and stress.

Stand up and push your chair back out of the way. Let your arms hang loosely at your sides. Gently roll your head clockwise in a 360-degree circle. Keep your neck muscles relaxed and don't force your head too far to the side—let comfort be your guide. It should take 5-10 seconds to complete one circle. Don't rush. Complete three circles, then do three more counter-clockwise, again focusing on relaxation.

Got Something More Advanced?
Combine neck circles with shoulder shrugs. Do three clockwise circles (as above) then raise your shoulders toward your ears, hold 5 seconds and relax. Perform three counter-clockwise circles and repeat the shoulder shrug.
