Exercise 1
Stand comfortably.  Slowly raise your head from your chest and tilt it back as far as possible.  Do not strain.  Close your mouth tightly so that your feel the neck muscles stretch.  Count to ten and relax, bring your head back to normal.  Start by doing this exercise once or twice a day than gradually increase until you are doing ten a day.

Exercise 2
Open your mouth very wide, and then push your lower jaw forward and then upwards so your bottom teeth extend over the top of your upper lip. Do this 10-15 times and repeat 3-4 times a day.


Exercise 3
While standing up, pull your head slightly back such that your face is tilted towards the ceiling. Now try to kiss the ceiling by stretching your lips and puckering up. Hold for five seconds. Repeat 5 times a day.

Exercise 4
This exercise can be done on a seated or standing position. Pull your spine straight up and leading with the chin, gently rotate your head from one shoulder to another. Stick to semi circular motions if full circular rotations bother your neck. Do a full roll 3-5  times a day.
