Neck tightness often leads to neck pain… and many times they both show up together!
Whether it’s due to an accident or injury (whiplash, sports, etc) or it came on gradually over time (desk job, poor posture) neck pain is annoying, painful, and can often be debilitating.
In fact, neck tightness and pain is one of the most-common complaints that I see in my physical therapy clinic.
Fortunately, not all hope is lost! The right stretches can help to eliminate your neck pain and make you to feel better!
In this video, I’m demonstrating four of my favorite stretches to help eliminate neck tightness, increase your range of motion, and ultimately help you to feel better. I’ll even include a BONUS fifth exercise that will help not just treat your tight neck symptoms, but actually addresses the cause of your pain to help improve your condition.
It’s important to remember that your neck moves in three planes of motion. It can move forward/backward, it can move side-to-side, and it can rotate left and right. You may have good mobility in one or two of these motions, but be totally limited in the other!
It’s crucial that you stretch in each one of these movement planes in order to maximize your results and decrease your neck tightness and pain.
Of course, as with any health/wellness routine, consistency is key with these neck stretches! Come back and perform these day after day, week after week, and I know you’ll see the improvements you’re seeking!
PLEASE NOTE - the exercises presented in this video are for educational purposes and are not intended to be treatment for your specific neck condition. If you have any numbness or tingling down your arms they may not be the best exercises for you. Furthermore if any of these exercises causes pain I encourage you to stop and consult a local physical therapist or other professional for help.

I have discomfort in my neck with vertigo.will these exercises help?
Dr can I do running in neck pain ??
what if nose to armpit hurts my neck? I have pain when stretching it sideways!! yikes. the rest is fine but not sideways. thanks.
One day can you do a few videos for seniors. People who can not get on the floor or a hard bed. It would be great to help older people be able to stretch and exercise to the limits of their bodies to improve their mobility and reduce their pain. Much appreciated
You saved, bless you with all the best
