BENEFITS OF THE SIDE PUSH NECK STRETCH:

The side push neck stretch is a common exercise used in physical therapy to assist in the rehabilitation of neck muscles, joints, and bones. This stretch is designed to improve the strength, tone, and flexibility of your neck muscles. It also promotes increased flexibility in the ligaments around the neck joints, making them more resilient to stress.

Poor posture often causes the head and shoulders to lean forward, leading to certain chest and neck muscles becoming tight and shortened over time. This can contribute to neck pain and perpetuate poor posture. Engaging in neck stretching exercises like the side push stretch can help relax these postural muscles, potentially reducing neck discomfort and improving overall posture.
