Did you know that the average human head weighs 10 pounds? That’s quite a bit of weight that sits on top of a relatively small column of vertebrae (your neck).

As long as we maintain a good alignment with our head right on top of our neck, gravity holds your head on your neck with very little external strain.

However - the majority of us don’t have very good posture - especially as we're spending more and more time on a computer or looking at our phones.

As your head comes forward, it increases the force required by your muscles to keep your head on top of your neck. That can be a lot of weight for your muscles to hold up for a very long time - often hours on end.

The result can be a tight, stiff neck that leads to fatigue and chronic pain.

Luckily, there’s a lot that the right stretches and exercises can do to help alleviate the tension in your neck, increase the strength in your postural muscles, and help you to feel better fast.

In this video, I’m sharing five of my favorite exercises that I recommend to my physical therapy patients all the time to help with neck tension and pain. You can do all of them at home with no equipment required.

The secret to success is we need to stretch where it is tight (supporting neck muscles), and strengthen where it is weak (postural muscles) to help you feel better.
