neck roll

Head circles exercise

A neck roll is a circular movement of the head, rotating the neck through its full range of motion—typically done as a stretch or warm-up exercise.

The term also refers to a small cylindrical pillow designed to support the neck, used for sleeping or travel.

In football, a neck roll is protective padding worn around the collar to prevent neck injuries.
