Exercises for Neck Pain

Neck strengthening and stretching exercises with tips from pain specialist Dr. Saleh Atiyah

Regular, structured neck exercises help strengthen muscles supporting the cervical vertebrae, improve flexibility, and reduce pain episode frequency. These exercises are particularly beneficial for those working long hours in front of screens and those suffering from tech neck. Consistency is the key to sustainable results.

Levator scapulae stretching is done by rotating the head 45 degrees then tucking the chin toward the armpit. This muscle is often tense and painful in those with chronic neck pain.
