Today, I want to show you a wonderful neck stretch for whole-body relaxation. I’m going to go over this neck stretch for stress relief step-by-step. 

We’re going to be working with the skull and first vertebra. There is also a lot of ligaments involved in this.

Ligaments go from bone to bone. So, whether you had a tailbone injury or just gravity stress, we want to use this stretch to increase the space between the skull and the first vertebra. 

This relaxing stretch will provide a tremendous amount of relief, and will help the person:

• Sleep better 
• Breath better
• Feel taller
• Have more neck flexibility 
• Have less stress

Here are a few things to keep in mind as I show you step-by-step how to do this stretch for neck tension and stress relief:

• This vertebra is round so we’re going to be stretching at different angles.

• The back part of the skull is called the occiput. 

• The first vertebra is called the 1st cervical vertebrae (C1).

• You can’t do this neck exercise on yourself. 

• The neck stretching exercise will take a little time and practice.

• If you have a narrow thumb, you may need to go lighter and more gentle, or use part of your hand instead.

• Be very careful not to pull hair or stretch the hairline.

• You would not want to do this neck stretch if the person was involved in a head-on collision and their neck was thrust forward tearing ligaments at the base of the neck. This would make it worse. 

• If the neck stretch is painful to the person, try doing the same stretch but back instead of forward.
