So to become and remain pain free, the first and most important step is to check your posture is excellent at all times. This means that your ear is above your shoulder from a side on view, and not forward of it. Also, when you are sitting you must be sitting erect instead of slouching.

Therefore, make sure you are sitting tall which makes your muscles of your back work rather than slouching which rests on the ligaments and pushes the discs backwards.Some of the easiest neck exercises are rotating the neck in a clockwise fashion. Just bend the neck. Let your chin touch your chest. Now, roll your head to your right, so that your ear touches your shoulder. After that, slowly and steadily roll your head backwards towards your left shoulder until your left ear is able to touch your left shoulder.
