The great neck/back combo stretch-the good, the bad, and the ugly

Mark Perren-Jones from the Haven Spa and Clinic

…the good

• stand upright and put your right hand behind your back trying to touch your left buttock
• Tilt your head to the left trying to touch your left ear to your left shoulder. keep your head straight( you may want to do this in front to a mirror first to see that you are doing it correctly)
• slide your left hand down the side of your left leg
• keep your chin in and your hip tucked under by using your abdominals
• hold for 15 seconds
• remember to breathe, relax, smile and enjoy
  

…the bad and the ugly

• over arching your back
• pushing your chin forward
• leaning forwards or backwards
• forgetting to breathe, relax, smile and enjoy
