Neck-SMR

Other Neck

The Neck-SMR is a stretching movement that targets your neck. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Neck-SMR

  1. Place a small ball or roller against the base of your skull or along the neck musculature.
  2. Apply gentle pressure and move slowly until you find a tender spot.
  3. Hold on each tender area for 20–30 seconds, breathing steadily.
  4. Stay off the spine itself — keep all pressure on the surrounding soft tissue.
