Proper Head Position
Of course there is no real “position” for your head because your head moves in response to everything you do. More of a problem is that the head is often almost stuck in a position because it is held too tightly. Allowing for a softening (release of the muscles) of the back of your neck will allow your head to rise a little bit, giving more room to your spine, which in turn can make all your movements easier. Without extra movement or massage, try it now with just a thought. There is a diagram about proper head position at Tip 3.
