Neck strengthening
Neck strengthening exercises for easing neck pain, headache and better neck posture with Physio Michelle from https://www.pelvicexercises.com.au These gentle deep neck flexor exercises are muscle control exercises for beginners rehabilitation for overcoming neck pain.
Content Overview:
Neck Muscles:
Research (1) tells us that people with neck pain use their outer neck muscles (scalenes and sternocleidomastoid) thather than the deep stabilising neck muscles.
The correct neck muscles to use are the deep stabilising neck muscles close to the vertebra either side of the wind pipe (deep neck floxors or longus capitis and longus colli).
Position:
Lying down on a firm supportive surface
Towel roll positioned under head
Space between supporting surface and neck
Neck Exercise Technique:
1. Identify the strong outer muscles to avoid using by attempting to lift the head forward
2. Close the lips and keep teeth apart
3. Nod the chin towards the chest without contracting the strong outer neck muscles
4. Breathe normally during this neck exercise
5. Smoothly release and rest briefly before your next exercise
Progress Neck Exercises:
1. Maintain the chin to chest position for up to 10 seconds duration
2. Perform this neck exercise sitting or standing

That was fantastic. Thank you, Michelle. #ILoveMichelleKenway
Hello I need your help plz reply
How can I get in touch with u
Really helpful .For me this fixes one side pain in my neck .Now only one remains at back of my neck.
hoooly cow... i've been having long-lasting neck pain from my golf swing for almost a year now.
i've tried all kinds of neck stretches before/during/after golf, nothing helped.
i just did this exercise once, and the pain is gone.
hoping it stays that way; this is incredible.
thank you so much!
thanks for the great info. We need this fix badly :-)
Wow. These exercises seem simple enough, but when I try them I want to automatically use the wrong muscles. I'm learning how important it is to move correctly. Thank you.
Do have head injury definitely will try thanks
Is a poping sound in your neck a bad sign
My ears popped when I did this. Does that mean something was released?
And now back to you Michelle was SO fantastic...neck exercises too.
Please write in English as subtitles
If I have weak dysfunctional deep neck flexors that are inhibited will the back of my neck get chronically tight? I also had anterior cervical fusion c6c7 and my neck pain has increased. Thanks. Nice video
Love from India ??
Hello. I have a real tightness in the front neck. Feel like sombody is strangeling me. I tryed everything. The one thing that helps are using pills for anxiety. However I want to stop taking pill. But when i try to stop i get streest out and the tightness even more. So I belive strees and anxiety is the key factor as I have taken scans and evrythig. Il try your tip.
Very helpful!
Thank you for sharing this video with us!
I work with a physiothreapist for my neck pain and we do many things from massage to adjustments. He tells me it's very instable (like we put something in place with an adjustment but it;s back to loose later again) - is this something to do if I need to improve spine stability?
Thanks read exercises really work for me thank you so much
Cheers. Trying to get yoked.
I can't move my neck on the right
Nice work.
I have damaged my neck muscles while gym.. And the pain return sudden.. I can't lift much weight what to do now pleez tell me, ?????

Hey Coach, does this help with preventing strain in your neck?
I join today and your exercise are amazing. Tks a lot. I have wear and tear on the neck, mild scoliosis with stiff muscle in the shoulder blade. Wich one you recommend please and how often I should do it
Great work out for my neck thank you ??
Plz make a video for tailbone
☀️☀️??
Love it, thank you
Thanks needed this!
thanks
That was fantastic
Leaving this comment here again for people looking for fixing their pain in the back of your hand or neck. This exercise WORKS! I do it on weekly basis.
This was amazing! I have been dealing with neck pain from my job, on my computer all day. I know these exercises are going to help.
loved the specialized neck workout! Thanks!
That is so cool. I already did the kickboxing 30 min for two times. It is just great in the sense that it has a pace,, break, not like most u tube non-stop like crazy and you do not know where you are heading for.. Keep doing this HAS fit.
Thank you so much Coach Kozak and Claudia. This workout changed my life. I have a cervical hernia and for a long time every time I did any kind of exercise, the next day I had headaches and had to stop all activity and take lots of pain killers. I felt weak and had no energy. Since I discovered this rehab workout, the pain went away. I've been doing it every other day along with one of your 10 minute workouts alternating between legs, abs and arms until I'm strong enough to start your beginner's program (thanks for making low impact workouts by the way). But this weekend I climbed a hill and I felt strong, had energy and NO HEADACHES at all! So I allocated my pain killer's budget to your patreon's account lol! Thank you and keep on the good work.
I loved it! I needed this! I'm going to keep doing it?
I've got shoulder and neck pain for years. I will starting doing both of your neck and shoulder exercises everyday. Let's see what's gonna happen.
Kozak, ou are a great coach. I met quite a number and none is good as you. Keep doing this great U tube!
I have neck problems and this video really help me release the pain!! Thank you so much!☺?
this is one of the best exerises for neck. Now, looking forward to facial exercises for my facial muscles from my favourite couple
Nicely explained. Thank you
thank you for this video for 3 weeks i have been having this pain, in just my 1st watch it has helped me so much i had to write a comment. i look forward to following yall with other videos that may help the body. keep it up
Love this neck exercise and do you have exercises for sciatic nerve pain? Or stretch leg muscles. Thank you for your wonderful love you ? both❤️??
i feel better thank you
I've been following your vids for 2 weeks and I already feel an improvement! And honestly I didnt think it was possible but you made it so easy and fun. And 15 mins is a suitable length for me. Thank you for great content!!
Tried this one and will be passing it onto my mom she has a lot of neck issues for many many years, perhaps this can help her out and reduce the migraines she gets from it.
Thank you so much for this guys!! U guys are doing a great job!
Excellent
Thanks I needed that it was so relaxing
Hi hasfit coaches thanks so much for the motivation. I just looked for neck exercises and did this one with you guys! One of the physio I visited told me that my neck keeps getting out of alignment and hence the intense pain as I work much in front of the computer. Not sure if that is true but I will do your neck routine with stretching and strength and see how I get along. Thanks however for the help by putting this up in youtube. Cheers
This came to my attention at just the right time. I awoke the other night with very stiff and painful neck pain.
My bursitis healed in one month. Thanks!
My neck and upper back were so tense I've started developing jaw spasms and unwittingly grinding my teeth. Been doing this routine a few times a week for a couple of months and it helped relieve most of the symptoms.
Whenever I do neck exercise some stress on mind and head is swinging ?
is that good to people with disc in neck and lumber
A
I do lots of your videos but this neck stretch and strengthening workout is so beneficial. Really enjoyed it. My neck feels so much better. Thank you so much.
Hey guy's I found these exercise very very very effective. On the first day of doing these exercise my 80% pain went of. Thank you so much. My question is can I do these exercise twice everyday?
I have been doing the neck work out for more than a month now. It has helped me a lot. Thank you for coaching this easy to follow and effective neck exercises!
I have been trying this video about 3 times a week and it seems to be helping. Thanks!
This is very effective
thank you guys : ) just one question... I was wondering why my lower back was hurting as i was doing these work outs?

Thank you very much Hasfit , I had neck pain I started to search so many vedios for relieving the pain and finally I found that now I usually do that exercise and the pain relieved thank you ?
❤️??
This is a great neck stretch video. I have daily neck pain due to working remotely for all these months. ?? On this video. Thank you HASFIT
Good class. Have been doing this routine for about 3 months due to Covid confinement. Love this couple.
Thanks so much for these videos! Have had both neck pain and shoulder pain for years. Originally planned to go to the gym but due to having tendonitis in one hand, I didn't think it was advisable to be lifting heavy weights!!! Your exercise videos have given me a better alternative. Didn't realise how unfit I really was lol! So unfit that I was shaking like a leaf when doing some of those stretches and almost passing out half way through the video lmao. Not something you would want to hear from someone in their early 20's lol!
Very effective from first time ??
Is it okay if i’ll do this 15 min exercise in combo with 15 min better posture and 30 min lower back and hips pain relief exercises?
If yes , then in which order?
Please guide.
You guys are simply the best !
Great movements I simply did not know we're so useful. It feels great to learn a bit more about the body through your unique workouts every day and it's very good not only to improve the fitness level, but also the motivation to come back every time. Many thanks for your help!
I am watching that you bent your knees always, is it needed.
Just getting back from a neck injury and this video helps me a lot to get back on track! :D!
I have done these exercises for my neck and back. It really helps. They are really good. Thank you!!
Excellent! Thank you!
Thank you so much! it will be so much easier to study now because it won’t hurt to bend my neck over at a desk
Thank you so much ?
Sir aftr loosing weight i loos may neck skin plz help?
Thank you so much coach Kozak for providing this routine. I'm doing this routine almost a month now. I have seen a good improvement in my neck. Thanks again for sharing all exercises!!
???
you are awesome
It's working 100% thanks for the video..
thanks doctor
Great neck exercises! Only recommendation is to upgrade the music to something more upbeat. ??
My neck were so paining after doing neck streach as u teach now after 15 min my pain goes away thanks bro u r life saver✌???
It's a very very useful exercise ??
5 months later: I am working the monthly foundation program. I am following Coach's variations more and more. I like that Claudia has the harder ab movements sometimes! I still come back to this neck stretch/strength video at least twice a week. If you have time, can you do a new neck video? Maybe all of the joints?
I really love this video! I've been doing this routine several times a week for awhile, and it has helped with my neck pain! Thanks!
Shouldn't the stretching be done instead after the exercise? I've heard that stretching before training can lead to injuries...
That chin tuck is orgasmic I don't care how I look.
Have been having chronic neck pain the past year, due to an accident a couple of years ago. I have been doing this exercise routine 3 times a week for the past two weeks and there is an incredible improvement. Will put another update at the 6 weeks mark. Thanks guys this has been so helpfull
Great ????
Oh my gosh, HASfit is the bomb. And this neck stretch video confirmed you guys are married<3 Precious. Great couple, great rapport but most importantly, your exercise videos are superb. Keep em coming.
My neck has been in pain for about 3 weeks and I'm doing this video now and I can just hear it crackling LOL
