How often
Twice a day
How to do it
Sit or stand tall with your shoulders relaxed.
Draw your chin straight back, as if making a double chin.
Keep your eyes level and do not tip your head down.
Hold for five seconds, then relax.
Why it helps
The deep neck muscles switch off when the head drifts forward. Waking them up eases the strain on the upper neck, where many tension headaches start.
Common mistakes
Nodding instead of gliding. Imagine your head sliding back on a shelf. A finger on your chin helps you feel the right direction.
