In the hustle of office life, our necks often bear the brunt of stress, tension, and endless screen-scrolling. But fear not, fellow desk-dwellers! Let’s break free from the shackles of stiffness with these five neck exercises that’ll have you feeling like a zen master in no time.

  • The Chin Tuck (aka “The Tech-Neck Buster”):
    • Imagine you’re holding a juicy peach under your chin.
    • Gently tuck your chin toward your chest, lengthening the back of your neck.
    • Hold for a few seconds, then release.
    • Repeat this move whenever you catch yourself hunching over your keyboard like a curious squirrel.
