Can't turn your head fully? Try moving your eyes left and right five times while keeping your head still, then test your neck rotation again. This quick drill uses smooth pursuit eye movements to potentially improve mobility without forcing your neck into pain.
So what I want you to do is try this quick, simple drill. We're going to do what's called a smooth pursuit and see how it impacts our neck movement. So once again, let's get that baseline. Turn your head to the right, see how far you can go comfortably. How does it feel? Is there any restriction, any pain? Do the same thing to the left. And that's your baseline assessment. Now what we're going to do is we're going to take our thumb, we're going to put it out in front of us. You're going to have it at eye level, and you're just going to follow it with your eyes left and right. Now, only go as far as you're comfortable going. Don't feel like you need to get way out here beyond your range that your eyes can actually go, but we're keeping the head still and just following it left and right. So we're going to do that 5 times, about 1 second in each direction each time. So you're doing this about 10 seconds total.
Stop Stretching Your Neck. Try This Instead (It Might Improve Your Vision Too)
