Neck Pain Stretches & Exercises: www.AskDoctorJo.com Doctor Jo shows you some simple stretches for neck pain. Remember to be very careful with neck stretching exercises, and make sure you have a proper diagnosis from your doctor. Rotation, side bending, flexion, and extension stretching will help loosen your neck muscles. Also stretching your levator scapulae and trapezius muscles will help with some tension headaches.

More Details About This Video:
If you are having some neck pain, stiffness, or tightness, check out this video for neck stretches. The neck muscles that are affected the most are your trapezius and levator scapulae muscles. People often describe neck pain as a crick in their neck. First start off with some gentle neck stretches by bringing your chin to your chest and then looking up towards the ceiling. This is neck flexion and extension. Next you are going to take your ear to your shoulder on each side. Make sure you are not shrugging your shoulders up. This is side bending. Then you are going to turn your head from side to side like you are looking over your shoulder. This is neck rotation. If that is not painful, then you can add some overpressure with your hands.
Now place your hand under your thigh to keep your shoulder down, then side bend your head to the opposite side and gently put pressure with your other hand to get a stretch through your trapezius muscles. Hold these for 30 seconds and perform 3 times on each side. The final stretch is going to be for your levator scapulae muscle. This is the muscle that is used when you shrug your shoulders, and they can get overworked when you are stressed out. Take your arm on the side of the pain and place it above and behind your shoulder. Then take your opposite arm and place on top and slightly behind your head. Look down towards the opposite knee of the pain and apply gentle pressure for a good stretch.
DISCLAIMER: Doctor Jo is a licensed Physical Therapist and Doctor of Physical Therapy, however, this video is only designed to help you perform the correct technique of exercises that have ALREADY been given to you by your health professional. They are NOT to take the place of going to your own doctor or therapist. There are many manual techniques that a therapist can do that simply can not be done on your own. Your own therapist will also ensure that you are doing correct techniques with your exercises and stretching. If these techniques aren't done right, they won't help, and they could make things worse. So, if you experience any pain while doing these techniques, STOP immediately and see your doctor.

    I'm a habitual side-sleeper so neck pain is pretty par for the course for me. It's been a bit worse lately since I spent a week sleeping on the floor. I'm back on a bed, but my body just isn't keeping up. This is exactly what I've been needing. Edit: Also a full time college student so a lot of my time is spent bent over my books and notes. It definitely doesn't help either.

I just wanted to say these exercises have aided my meditative practice. I've loved reading in the comments all the injured/recovering people who have benefitted from the exercises. For me, it has helped focus more on the moment. It's weird realising how much stress is stored in the neck. You rock Jo

    Thanks Dr. Jo ! Have had chronic neck pain forever. Your exercises have made a dent in the pain. I'm a very stiff person, so it was not easy, but I have done these exercises twice daily for about five days and am definitely feeling better for it. My neck was soooo sore, I really could barely do these exercises but, I persisted and, I'm optimistic about the future. Your exercises are not easy but easy to understand and your "bedside" or shall we say couch manner is so comfortable and you come over as the kind of person I could really trust. Your cat certainly adds to the calming feeling of trust : )

    Hi Dr Jo- I've been using this stretch for a couple of years now and it's really, really helped me. Thank you again. I have been having a new kind of pain lately though and I wonder know if you could recommend a special kind of stretch or another one of your videos and particular. Lately, I've been having this pain in my left shoulder blade continuing down the left arm forbade couplen days now. I think I may have improperly lifted some weights and/aggravated an old injury. If I move the arm in the wrong way, it kinda hurts. And it woke me up a few times last night. I can't see my sports massage therapist with all this stuff happening, so I'm kind of in a bind here. Do you have any kind of a stretch recommendation I could maybe do in the mean time? Thank you

    Hi. Thank you for uploading these exercises. They're like a ray of hope during tough pain times. Is it normal though to experience a transfer of pain to other areas of your spine and shoulders including shooting pains or a lasting sharp/burning back pain or tingling/murmuring in your foot and leg after doing such exercises? Would they disappear after continuous stretches or are they signs that you need to stop? Thank you in advance ❤

    Thank you so much for making this video!! A life saver 😭 I woke up this morning with pain in my neck which leads to a headache. I think I slept in the wrong position last night & had experienced it a few times, but usually the pain lasts for a few hours only. This time around the pain didn't go away & I'm kind of scared! So I decided to find a head & neck stretching video on KZread and found yours. It works so well, especially the scapula stretch. Immediately I feel better now! The neck still feels kind of stiff, but my headache is almost gone, like the aching was relieved. Thank you so, so much!
