      In daily life, many times we will inevitably have symptoms of shoulder and neck pain. The cause of this symptom is probably due to some bad posture habits in study and life, or long hours of work and study without paying attention to work and rest, causing shoulder and neck strain, thus causing pain.

      You can use the following six shoulder and neck yoga techniques to relieve shoulder and neck discomfort.

      Shoulder and neck yoga movements:

      1. This action is very similar to the crawling posture of animals. First, lie prone to make a crawling posture, straighten your hands on the ground, and then kneel on the ground with your knees on the ground, with your head down. Eye Look at the ground, keep your back straight, relax your shoulders as much as possible, and then maintain this action for 3 to 5 breaths.

      2. First lie on your back on the ground, let your hands and feet rest naturally on the ground, then start to lift your feet up, slowly move your legs towards your head, until they are placed on the ground above your head, and then use your head and forehead to support your feet.

      3. Place your hands on your waist to support your body, then slowly start to lift your feet away from your head, and then maintain the movement for 3 to 5 breaths.

      4. Kneel on the ground like an animal crawling, with your legs and knees on the ground, and your hands vertically supported on the ground. Then push your hands forward to press your upper body forward.

      5. Bend your arms and elbows, then press your abdomen and stomach down as close to the ground as possible, then lift your abdomen and repeat the action about 3 to 5 times.

      6. First, wrap your right hand back around the shoulder, and wrap your left hand back from below the waist. Then let the left and right hands meet at the back, clasp the fingers with each other, maintain the movement for 3 to 5 breaths, then let go and relax, and then switch hands on the other side.
