Step 1
Hold one hand against the side of your head. Push your head over to one side, trying to touch your ear to your shoulder. Resist against your head with your hand. Hold for five counts.
-
Step 2
Place both hands on your forehead. Push your head forward against your hands. Hold for five counts.
-
Step 3
Place both hands behind your head above the neck, and try to move your head backward. Resist against your head with your hands. Be careful not to tip your chin. Hold for five counts.

Step 4
Place one hand against your head and try to rotate your head to one side. Rotate until your chin is lined up on top of your shoulder, while resisting with your hand. Hold for five counts.

Step 5
Sit down in a chair, and move yourself forward so you may place your right arm behind you. Tilt your head to the left and angle it forward a bit. Turn it so you can look to the right. Inhale, and as you exhale slowly, gently press down on your head with the left hand to increase the stretch. Hold for 20 counts. Repeat on each side, and do each side twice.

Step 6
Turn your head slowly from one side to the other. Hold at a maximum stretch until you feel the tension release. Slowly bend your head, meeting the ear to the shoulder and repeat on the opposite side. Bend your head backward, slowly to release additional tension.
