How to Apply This
-
Sit or stand in a comfortable position.
-
Without turning your head, let your eyes look to the right.
-
Continuing to face straight forward.
Tilt your head to the right so that your right ear moves closer to your right shoulder without lifting the shoulder to meet it. -
Hold your head in this position for thirty to sixty seconds.
-
Then let your head come back up to its neutral position and shift your eyes to look forward again.
-
Now do the same on the other side.
Let your eyes look to the left, and then side-bend your head to the left. After thirty to sixty seconds, return your head to an upright position and your eyes to a forward direction.
