Release Neck & Shoulder Tension in 30 seconds: NO STRETCHING| Feldenkrais Style
In this short video, I will show you a super simple exercise to release your neck and shoulder tension in just 30 seconds. And this does not involve stretching or massage.
Here’s a shorter version of this video (90 seconds):
After you try this exercise and feel a change, I explain why your shoulder and neck muscles keep getting tight and you are having to keep stretching and massaging all the time, then I explain why this simple exercise can release your shoulder and neck tension so quickly without stretching. This is very important to understand.
As for how many reps, sets, how many times/day, whether you should do just one side or both sides, here’s my recommendation/suggestion:
- You can do this awareness exercise on whichever side you feel tension, but there is no harm in doing on both sides.
- Reps, sets are not very important. Your attention to your body and moving slowly are more important. You can do this exercise as many times as you would like as it can remind you and your nervous system of your habitual tension. I personally find it very helpful to do this exercise while driving and doing desk work as these daily activities are often associated with increased muscular tension in neck and shoulders.
When you start connecting with YOUR BODY and move slowly and pay attention to your body, you will start to understand YOUR BODY and optimal movement and posture for YOUR BODY from the inside out, in a way no one can understand. YOUR BODY only belongs to YOU. Only you can access your internal resources that is AWARENESS!

This exercise demonstrates how our body and brain communicate with each other, and how you bring your attention to your body can alter the state of the nervous system and body. You can see how small and slow and mindful movement can make a big difference. This is why I focus on retraining movement patterns and nervous system using mindful movement to improve our functions and quality of life!
