Cervical pain is a common problem faced by many people these days. The most effective way of resolving it is to do regular exercise. This pain may mostly spread from your neck to your arms. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar lists some exercises for cervical pain.
In the first exercise, you need to maintain a straight posture and push your chin forward. By doing this you will feel like your throat is stretching. Keep it like this for 5 seconds and then get it back to the normal position.
In the next one, sit straight and try to touch your chin with your chest. Hold on to the position and then get back to the normal position. Make sure your neck muscles feel the stretch. You should repeat this exercise 5 times.
In the next exercise, you have to turn your head. Keep your head in a neutral position. Move your head to the left as much as you can and without any discomfort. Hold on to the posture and then repeat the same steps on the right side. Bring back your head to the normal position.
Lie down on the floor and bend your knees. Your feet should be flat on the floor. Look at the roof. Now, slowly move your chin towards your chest. When you feel the stretch, hold for 5 seconds and then get back to the normal position.
Another exercise you can do while lying down is moving your head for stretching. Lie down in the same manner as you were doing in the previous exercise. Move your chin towards your shoulder. Your right ear should touch your right shoulder. Hold this position for 5 seconds and then come back to the center position. Now, repeat these steps in the left direction. Repeat at least 5 times.
Make a set of all these exercises and repeat twice a day.
