Cervical Spine AKA Neck Stretching

Cervical Spine AKA Neck Stretching
***Disclaimer: Viewing this video does not take the place of seeing a medical professional or working with a fitness professional. Please visit a medical professional for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment and to make sure that you are healthy enough to begin an exercise program. Please work with a fitness professional to learn proper exercise technique and to develop a proper training program. Never perform an exercise that elicits or intensifies symptoms. If an exercise elicits or intensifies symptoms, stop immediately and use a viable substitute.
Incorporate static stretching of the neck into your cool down to decrease muscle tension and increase flexibility in the neck and upper back.
Static stretches increase flexibility and decrease tightness. Stretching is not a flexibility contest and should never elicit symptoms. Exhale and move slowly into a comfortable stretch. Hold a gentle neck stretch between ten to twenty seconds. Stretch your neck toward your chest, to both sides and between straight forward and directly to the side.

My neck has been a little tight. I knew I would find help on Don Ozellos KZbin channel! Thanks Don

[@drdozellodc]

You're very welcome. Please let me know if you have any question.

[@jessegulick5381]

Can I do the stretch if I have cervical instability and will this also help with adjusting the atlas?

[@drdozellodc]

If I were you, If cervical instability was present, I would not perform neck stretches until I received authorization from my treating doctor.

My neck feels better now. Is it possible to break a disk by stretching or running or any sudden movement, or is that to extreme of an injury from a simple task such as those.

[@drdozellodc]

Usually a disc herniation or disc bulge occurs from a collision or trauma.
