It is easy for women to hold stress in their neck and shoulders. These 2 stretches are our top 2 favorites for neck pain.
1. Levator Scap Stretch:
Stand or sit with leg shoulder-width apart, spine straight, and arms to your side. Place your left arm behind your low back. Look as far to the right as you can and then look down towards your right foot. Hold for 30 seconds and then switch sides. Repeat 3-4x a day.
2. Chest Stretch:
Using the door frame or corner of the room, bring your hands at shoulder-height and bend your elbows. Lean in gently until you feel the stretch across the front of your chest. Hold for 30 seconds and then switch sides. Repeat 3-4x a day.
