Essential Side to Side Neck Stretch for Relieving Repetitive Stress

• Lay your head to the side, pivoting at the base of the neck.
  
• Hold it for a few seconds, then lay it to the other side.
  
• Repeat a couple of times.
  

This will loosen your neck and shoulder muscles. If you can do this with your eyes closed, it will help them relax as well.
