NECK MUSCLE

The neck muscles consist of a group of delicate yet strong muscles that perform important functions such as movement, stability, and support for the head and neck. These muscles help maintain balance, proper posture, and reduce pressure on the spine. Strengthening the neck muscles not only prevents issues like neck pain and muscle stiffness, but it is also essential for improving athletic performance and preventing potential injuries. Below, 30 effective neck exercises are provided to strengthen and stretch the neck muscles, helping you achieve stronger and healthier neck muscles.
