Neck
Sub Occipital and Paraspinal Stretch: 

Warning: This is not applicable for people who have a herniated disc of the neck.

  • Apply pressure at the rear base of your neck, pressure directed upward and forward. 
  • You can interlace your fingers or apply pressure with just one hand. 
  • To target specifically your  subocciptal muscles, chin tuck again and apply a downward, forward pressure at the rear of your head.

*It is very important to start the initial stretch with the chin tucked. Perform for 30 seconds for 2-3 sessions/day.
