hi guys dr. Berg here in this short video I’m  going to show you how to instantly reduce neck  

stiffness okay it’s a pretty cool technique so  here’s what you do just follow along with me  

I want you to tuck your head forward for me okay  now bring your head back as far as you can now I  

want you to do it again but this time just notice  which direction you can’t go into or produces pain  

okay so just do it again and notice where is  the restriction is it going forward or going  

back okay for me it’s going back so I can’t quite  bring my head back as far as going forward okay so  

that’s the notice restriction now we’re going to  do if you can’t move your head back you’re going  

to stretch in the opposite direction about five  times so I’m going to take my hand and go forward  

watch this I’m just stretching going forward five  times okay once you do that go ahead and reassess  

and you’ll notice that your head is like fully  moving back now now what’s interesting is we  

use the principle of opposites if you stretch in  the direction that it’s opposing the restriction  

you can fix tightness okay so now if you had a  hard time going forward you’re going to stretch  

backwards just take your chin pull back all the  way about five times and we’re just stretching  

we’re sending neurological inputs into the  muscles and then you’ll reassess maybe like  

wow it’s full range of motion you can do it with  looking to the left the right lateral is flexing  

you can do with any muscle or joint okay so go  ahead and apply this and put your comments below
