neck exercises

Head rotation routines

Neck exercises are movements designed to stretch, strengthen, or relieve tension in the neck muscles.

They range from simple stretches like tilting the head side to side to resistance exercises that build muscle.

Physical therapists prescribe them for pain relief or injury recovery; fitness routines include them for posture and strength: My doctor recommended neck exercises for my stiffness.
