Exercises for cervical pain!

How to fight cervical pain with some simple exercises to do at home.

Simple warming up and yoga Styleoga method® exercises for fighting and preventing cervical pain.

Everyday life with daily problems put together to a incorrect posture adopted for several hours at work or at home, are the main factors that cause pains in the neck or cervical.

Although there are some real pathologies that provoke these pains, most of them are due to our incorrect habits and in fact even an accumulation of tension in this area involves an imbalance of the bones, tendons, nerves and muscles with consequent pain.

The more we wait to take the right measures the more difficult it becomes to get rid of it. There are therefore exercises which if carried out daily can improve our posture for example when we are sitting or when we are watching tv or carrying a weight, there are exercises that help to stretch and stretch the muscles that support us on a daily basis.

These simple exercises can not only help to endure pain and reduce it but also to prevent it.

If the muscles and tendons are strong, it is more difficult to be affected by the pain.

It only takes a few minutes a day to get better, remembering to carry out the exercises with care, very slowly without never overdoing it, doing about 5 repetitions per exercise.

Exercises for cervical pain

LATERAL TORSION

– Sit down while keeping your back straight and supported to the backrest of a chair.

– Put your hands on your knees.

– Turn the neck towards the right, as much as you can. Try to get your chin at shoulder height.
– Return to the initial position and turn your head towards the left.

– Keep the positions for a few seconds.

FORWARD AND BACKWARD FLEXES

– Sitting on a chair, that is not resting to a wall, so as to facilitate the movements.
– Bend your head backwards as if you would like look at the ceiling.
– Slightly open your mouth to avoid tension on your jaw. Remember to keep your back straight.
– Return to the initial position and then bend your head forward, until you touch your chest with your chin (or bring it as close as posssible).
– Do not curve your back.

LOTUS POSITION   

– Sit down on the floor cross-legged. If you manage, put a foot on the opposite knee.

– Keep your back straight and stay in this position for a few minutes. In the beginning it might be a bit painful, but only until your body gets used to it. If you like you can put cushions under your buttocks or under your knees to stay more comfortable.

– Remaining in this position, do all exercises that we listed above and add the complete rotation of the head. Draw an imaginary circle with your neck in a very slow movement.

SHOULDER LIFTS

When you suffer from cervical pain, this can arrive up to your back and shoulders which are always very tired and stressed, hence it is also ideal to do some exercises for the shoulders.

– Sitting on a chair with your hands resting on your thighs or knees.

– Raise shoulders upwards, as if they wanted to touch your ears.
– Return to the initial position and then push your shoulders down as much as possible.
