Neck pain can make it difficult to perform everyday activities. Here are three of my favorite neck stretches that can help relieve neck pain and tightness. Buy a worksheet with these neck stretches at https://www.askdoctorjo.com/3-neck-stretches-worksheet
Upper trap, levator scapulae, and SNAGS/cervical rotation are all simple stretches to get started. These should help loosen up tight neck muscles and relieve pain in the neck and shoulder area.
