Stretching #4: Suboccipital


The suboccipitals are situated just where the skull(the occiput) meets the vertebral spine (the cervical vertebreas). When they are too tight, they can cause some neck pain or headaches. Here is how to stretch them :
-Sit down on a chair(or you can do it standing against a wall). Sit up straight. It is really important to not bend your neck down during the exercice. Bring your chin back so that you make a "double chin". You should feel the stretch on the back of your neck.

Hold the movement for 30 seconds. Stop if you feel some pain. It is normal to feel a stretch, but you could harm yourself if you feel some pain. Repeat 3-4 times a day.
