FAQ

How often should I stretch my neck?

Use brief 30 to 60 second neck resets once or twice during long sitting blocks, keeping pressure light and pain-free.

Should neck stretches feel intense?

No. Neck work should feel easy and controlled. Stop if you feel tingling, dizziness, sharp pain, or symptoms down the arm.
