Do you get tight muscles at the front of your neck? If so, did you know that a tight neck is directly affected by the tension in the waist, ribs and shoulders through your breathing. Increasing motion in a stiff rib-cage will allow more of your breathing to come from your lower ribs rather than having to tense accessory breathing muscles in your neck.
Description
Lie flat on your back with your arms stretched up over your head so that your wrists are resting on the floor and your elbows are as straight as possible. Then walk your hands and feet as far as you can over to the right while keeping your pelvis and shoulders flat on the floor. Then cross your legs with your left ankle over your right ankle and use your right hand to gently pull your left wrist even further over to the right so that you stretch your left ribcage, waist, hip and shoulder open even further. Take a few deep breaths and try to relax into the stretch. After a while you might be able to unhook your ankles and walk your feet even further to the right before you cross your ankles again. The repeat the process on the left side. Spend about 15 sec in each position and repeat 2 times on the right and left.
Dosage
Work your way up to 60 sec and repeat 3 times per day for best result.
