Stand or sit upright with feet hip-width apart, chest tall, and shoulders relaxed and down. Keep your gaze forward and chin level (neutral neck). Slowly tilt your head to the right, bringing your right ear toward your right shoulder without lifting or shrugging the shoulder. Stop at a mild stretch on the left side of the neck and breathe steadily; hold 15\u201330 seconds. Return to neutral slowly. Repeat to the left side for 15\u201330 seconds; perform 2\u20133 rounds per side, moving gently and without pain.
