Sample Technique for NECK STRESS-RELEASE

This technique sends a signal to the brain to release the tension in the neck muscles and also corrects reactive interactions with other muscles. There are muscle fibers in the neck that run up and down on the neck, around the whole neck.

Do some neck rolls; look up with the head, then look left, right & down

Gently pinch the neck muscles in and UP and DOWN direction with your thumb and index finger.

Work on each side of your neck from front to back and on both  sides. Important: Keep your thumb facing downward. Go around the whole neck.

You can pretend that your thumb and index finger is a little “Packman” gently nibbling on your neck.

This activates the sensor cells under the skin and sends a signal to the brain to relax the neck muscles.
