Winter is on our backs and we can’t hide from it. Instead lets open up our upper body and embrace it by relaxing our shoulders away from our ears. As many of you know, as soon as the wind hits you, your shoulders drive up to keep in warmth. Eventually this starts to bother our neck muscles and upper body. Find time every day to unwind and let your shoulders settle back down.
Neck stretches aren’t always complicated. Draw your hands together behind your back and broaden your upper body.
