Neck Rotation Why it works: Look left and right through full range. The privacy of the restroom allows focused attention on releasing neck tension. JME 1 Look left and then right 2. Chin Tucks Why it works: Use the mirror to check your form. Pull your chin back to correct the forward head posture screen work creates. JME 6 Gently tuck your chin to your chest 3.
