Is it week 4 of June already!? That means summer has officially started, yay!  Ok let’s get back to stretching 🙂 The fourth stretch of the week brings us to a combination stretch, with some ROM (range of motion). If you have some neck issues I would encourage you to give this one a try.  (more…)

Week 3 of June brings us to a traction technique and self massage for the neck. Please use caution as always. If you have severe neck problems I would not recommend you do this one.  (more…)

Week 2 of June is here already! This year is flying by right!? This weeks stretch is an assisted neck twist.
