Neck pain continues to be a problem that affects a large portion of the population with the number increasing due to people sitting and using their smartphones more and more. In general, most neck pain stems from poor posture whether standing, sitting, or sleeping. Poor posture, if not fixed, can potentially lead to back pain, poor digestion, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Fixing your posture can go a long way in reducing overall neck pain and tightness.

Of course, the exercises listed above can further help make your neck stronger and more flexible and relieve stress and anxiety. You don’t even have to use weights or have a home gym. Most of these exercises you can even do in the office, though the Tipover Tuck might be a bit harder to pull off at your desk. Still, if you’re feeling bouts of neck pain, these exercises can help you get through the day a bit easier.
