Loop check

Station 5

Neck & shoulder ease

Upper-chain snacks for screen-heavy days—gentle range, no aggressive cracking or forced overhead stretch.

Desk-neck pattern

Forward head and rounded shoulders tighten chest and upper traps. Snacks restore motion upstream of the keyboard—pair with station 4 hourly breaks.

Ten-minute menu
  • Chin tuck holds 5 sec ×5 (draw head straight back)
  • Doorway chest stretch 20 sec each side
  • Scap squeeze 2×10
  • Arm circles small to large 10 each way
Breathing tie-in

Exhale longer than inhale during stretches—reduces trap guarding for many people.

Stop and discuss

Sharp shooting pain, numbness in fingers, or dizziness with neck motion—pause self-stretching and discuss with clinicians. This page does not replace evaluation.
