Here are some exercises for neck pain that you can do anywhere, even in the office to help improve your overall neck strength and reduce the pain you are feeling.

Exercises for neck pain are a must. You are sitting in the office and the pain starts. It starts at the base and moves up and it feels like someone has their hands around your neck, squeezing. You can feel the tension even if the boss isn’t driving you mad today. So, what in the world can you do to ease this pain? There are several options that I use that really seem to help improve my overall level of pain and have, over time, helped reduce the amount of pain I’m in, in these situations.

I’ll share these exercises for neck pain with you, but do take the time to find out what is wrong with your neck if it continues to hurt of you are suffering from extreme pain.

One of the first exercises to do is easily done and no one will know. Sit in your chair upright, back straight. Tilt your head back slowly as far as you can, so you are looking up. Hold this position for about a minute and return to a normal position. Repeat. Do the same thing, but this time side by side. You do not want to go too far that your ear touches your shoulder, though.

Another type of exercise that works is a resistance. You can do this from the side, top of the head or the back. Simply hold one hand against that position of your head, such as the side. Then, try to touch your shoulder with your ear while you hand restrains your head from movement. Hold for about ten seconds and release. Repeat this again and then try it from the back and front, too.

When doing any of these exercises for neck pain, never force your neck to bend. If moving it hurts more so, don’t force the issue. It is important to have good posture, too, so try to keep your back straight throughout. You should try to do these exercises three times a week.
