Some of the biggest things I see with ongoing neck tightness and discomfort in shoulders are - tight pecs, rounded shoulders and a spine that rarely moves into extension…
We live in a world of forward posture - phones, laptops, driving, sitting - all actions pulling us into flexion.
Over time our chest tightens, our shoulders roll forward, our upper back stiffens and our neck starts doing extra work…
If you’re not regularly opening through the chest and bringing your spine into extension, you’re missing a key piece of the puzzle.
Try these two exercises DAILY for a month and see how you go!�*Puppy pose pulses – to open the chest + shoulders while gently extending through the thoracic spine�*Reclined butterfly with thoracic extension on a block – to restore space, breathing, and ease through the front of the body
And don’t forget the BREATHING PART! If you’re not breathing, you’re not telling your nervous system it’s safe to let go.
