Use your other hand on your chin and force a rotation in the opposite direction of the wall: Core tight, breath and hold for 45sec).<br \/>\n2nd is a Thoracic extension over a mid&#x2F;low back support chair or ideally a foam roller (Both hands on back of head, arch your back over &#39;support&#39; on the midline of your back. direct your neck&#x2F;chin to the the sky, open chest for controlled breathing while you keep core tight. Tight-core does not entail tense body; if you have trouble breathing with your chin to the sky in the hyperextended position, dampen the angle. Focus on your scapula and let it hang over that chair&#x2F;roller: 45sec-1:15min hold). modify this stretch with 70deg left-right slow neck rotations in the same position ( just straighten your arms backward to allow for rotation on the modifier)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">C Ntia Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Bending towards your knees and grabbing your ankles is a great stretch for your back. Another good one is moving your head up and down and holding the strech for a few seconds in each position.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amelia C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sit or stand tall with straight spine, then raise both your hands up toward the ceiling with palms facing up, followed by your head. Set your gaze to the back of your hand. Breathe deeply. Slowly bend your upper back to the back. Just go as far as you can without straining. Hold for a few breaths then release slowly.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amber N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sit in a simple lotus position. Keep your hands on your knees and make circles with your shoulders. Breath in while going up, out while going down. Then reverse your circle.<br \/>\nThen, relax your shoulders and slowly make circles with your head, stretching your neck muscles. Breath in while your go towards the back, out when you come towards the front. Then reverse the circle.<br \/>\nLastly, for your upper back and even up to your arms, go into child\u2019s posture. Everytime you breath out, try and go a little deeper to really stretch out. For an extra stretch on your shoulders, Keep the same position, but out your left arm under your right arm and reach as far to your side as you can. Then do the opposite side.<br \/>\nI hope this helps! \ud83d\ude0a\ud83e\uddd8\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marvel N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;xyIAT7XzAe4<\/p>\n<p>This video has some great back exercises for the upper back to fix your posture. The first one especially where she puts her back against the wall and raises her hands against the wall had gave me a really nice stretch and posture.

Look up the stretch called the &quot;Cat-Cow&quot;. I know it sounds weird but it is really gentle. You just need a small bit of floor.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Karina F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">A good neck stretch is to roll your neck in circles at a slow speed.
