NECK CIRCLES

Neck circles are a gentle mobility movement where you slowly rotate your head in a circular path to loosen the muscles and joints of the neck. They mobilize the cervical spine and ease tension in the muscles along the neck and upper shoulders, areas that tighten from desk work and screen time. Sit or stand tall with relaxed shoulders, then lower your chin toward your chest and slowly roll your head in a controlled circle, moving only as far as is comfortable. Keep the motion slow and smooth, never forcing the range, and avoid cranking your head back hard. Complete a few circles in one direction, then reverse. Stop if you feel any pinching or dizziness. Neck circles relieve stiffness, improve range of motion, and make a useful break during long periods of sitting or before upper-body training.
