Wouldn’t you like to know? Well here it is!:)

Stretching definitely helps in the moment. Besides it feels great which motivates many of us to do it. However, is it enough? Does it give you sustainable results? In other words, can you stop stretching at some point without the tension coming back?

If your tension comes back when you stop stretching, it is a good indication that you have unconscious habits feeding your tension and discovering these habits is the way to gain sustainable results! And that is true wherever you tend to experience chronic tension or pain.

Neck tension is not due to texting or computer use, it is not due to sitting long hours on a chair either. Rather it is due to how you use yourself while texting, while working at your computer or sitting on a chair.

These activities are affected by how you use yourself the rest of the time even doing simple movements such as looking right and left to cross a street, to check produces in a store or to check on your children running around.

If you are like most people, you are overusing your neck muscles to move your head instead of moving your head from its natural joint.

Being aware of whether you are moving from a natural hinge or not is crucial to prevent excess tension and pain, whether you are on or off the mat.

Discovering unconscious habits that are feeding your level of tension is key to be tension-free in your neck or other places whether in daily life or while exercising.
