014 Let’s Talk About Neck Stretching


Listen Later

When your neck feels tight, stretching seems like the logical next step. But if you’re stretching all the time without relief, it’s probably because your neck doesn’t need more stretching. It needs a completely different approach.

On today’s episode, I cover...

  • Why the unique shape of the bones in your neck matters.
  •  Why basic stretching doesn’t really fix neck stiffness
  •  The best position for your neck during the day and while you’re sleeping
  •  How your neck and jaw are related (and why you might want to stop chewing gum)
  •  How to strengthen your neck in better positions (even while you’re at work)
