Hi I'm Monica and here is one more last stretch for you. This is actually going to get the back of your neck more specifically the lower part of your neck as well as the upper part and between your shoulder blades. Great stretches to do when you are starting to get tensed out, stressed out or anything like that you feel your muscles kind of knotting up on you. What you're going to do is you're going to kind of cross your arms (demonstrates) something like this, you're going to pull them forward as much as you can, so you basically trying to round your shoulders out as much as you can so, you're trying to pull them out at the same time then you're going to bend your head down (demonstrates) nice and comfortable. So, you pull your arms out as much as you can keeping that head bent you want to keep breathing making sure you're holding this for 30 to 60 seconds come back and do it again. So, arms out in front of you, pull them just as far as you can (demonstrates) head down and bent, you should be feeling it all right in through your shoulders and the lower part of your back.
Monica your videos have been a great help for me. I recently had my neck fused from C3-C7 and was instructed to have therapy. Knowing the therapists in my home town are not that great, I went on the web and found your videos and I thank you for the help that you have given me.
