After a C2 hangman’s fracture in ‘99, I learned the hard way that neck-friendly doesn’t mean never moving your neck again. ⁣ This move gently wakes up the deep neck stabilizers without overloading them—and bonus: it hits your core and hips too. ⁣ If you’ve been avoiding neck movement altogether, it might be time to retrain, not just rest. Your body is ready when you are. Pro Tip: when lifting head, keep chin down towards the throat. | Mandy Froehlich
