Stretching should be uncomfortable yet pain-free.

Dr. DeWitt recommends these stretches to his patients. If one hurts, stop.

How

  1. Stand up nice and straight.
  2. Slowly drop your head forward until it is uncomfortable, and hold.
  3. Then slowly tip your head backward until it is uncomfortable, and hold.
