Stretching method: Sit on a chair with your upper body upright and your hands placed naturally on your thighs (original state). Stretch the head forward and lower, return to the original position, then tilt it backward to the maximum extent, return to the original position and stretch to the left and right respectively. Each stretch should be held for 15-90 seconds. Completing all four positions counts as a set. Do 3-5 sets. Note: The movements should be gentle and slow, without excessive force, and the body should be stable. Don't swing left and right. 2. Rotation method: Sit on a chair with your upper body straight and your neck upright (original state). Slowly turn your head to the right, looking at the back of your right shoulder, breathe evenly, and slowly return to the original position. Hold for 15-90 seconds, switch to the other side, and repeat 3-5 times. 3. Surrounding method: Sit on a chair with your upper body straight, neck upright, and your hands naturally placed on your thighs (original state). Inhale and slowly lift your shoulders up, which looks like shrugging your shoulders. Exhale and slowly lower your shoulders from front to back to return to the original position. Repeat 12-15 times. Reverse the movement, inhale and lift your shoulders from back to front, exhale and lower them. Repeat 12-15 times. This can fully relax the neck muscles and promote blood circulation. |
