Sideways Movements Of The Neck:
Move your neck first to the left, hold for two seconds, then move it back to the starting position of looking straight ahead. Move it to the right and hold for a count of two. Repeat about 20 times.
Forward And Backward Movement Of The Neck:
Bend your neck forward, then bring it back to starting position after holding for a count of two. Now move it backwards so that the base of your skull is almost resting on the spine. Hold for a count of two, and bring it back to starting position. Repeat 10 times.
Guided Sideways Movements:
Put your left hand, palm down, on the right side of your head, and pull your neck towards the left shoulder, till you can comfortably endure the stretch. Hold for two seconds, then bring your neck back to upright position. Repeat with the other hand, and the other side of the head.
