Option 1
- Lie with a soft pillow under your neck and knees bent up
- Gently and slowly nod your head forward as if to say ‘yes’ while using your hands to feel the muscles at the front of your neck
- Stop the nodding action just before you feel these muscles hardening
- Hold the nod position for 3 seconds and then relax
Option 2
- Sit in a position of good upright posture
- Gently draw your head back to make a ‘double chin’
- You should feel a tightening at the base of your neck
- If you are doing this in the car, you should feel like your head is sliding up the back of the headrest
