Supine Neck Flexion and Extension Lie flat on a bench with your head extended out of the bench. Relax your neck and let it drop as much as possible. Relax your whole body, then use the strength of your neck to lift your head up until your chin is close to your chest, and slow down the speed. Pause for 2 to 3 seconds, then slowly lean back until the neck muscles are completely relaxed. (Note: When doing this movement, the body should remain in supine position with the back not leaving the bench) Pay attention to adjusting your breathing. Repeat 20 times, 5 to 10 sets.

Stretching is a folk method that we often played when we were young. Lean your back against a wall or a chair, and push the headrest against the wall, keeping your head and body still, and your muscles tense and contracted. Later I heard that this is called "tension"; or cross your hands and place them on the headrest, push your hands forward and the headrest backward, opposing each other, without moving your head and neck. When exercising, the neck muscles should be kept tense for 3-5 seconds, and then relaxed for 3-5 seconds as one cycle. Exercise 100-200 times a day, divided into 5-10 groups.

I often feel this way when I lie down and wash my hair at the barber shop. Lie on your back on the bed, remove the pillow, push the headrest back against the bed, lift your shoulders and back, hold this position for 3-5 seconds, then relax your muscles, lower your shoulders and back to rest for 3-5 seconds as one cycle, in order to achieve the purpose of exercising the neck and back muscles. Exercise 100-200 times a day, divided into 5-10 groups.

The prone chest lift is the reverse of the supine shoulder lift, or you can do them alternately. Lie face down on the bed without pillow, lift your head and chest up, lift your head and neck off the bed (commonly known as "flying swallow" or "small flying swallow"), hold for 3-5 seconds, then relax your muscles, lower your head, neck and chest to rest for 3-5 seconds for one cycle, exercise 50-100 times a day, divided into 3-5 groups.
