What is the best exercise for a stiff neck?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nose to armpit: and chin to chest. Apply moist heat to the neck for 15-20 minutes before performing the exercises. Perform the indicated exercises 4-6 times/day. Repeat each exercise 6-8 times. Be sure to breathe correctly throughout the exercises.

See below: Depends on why your neck is stiff. If you recall an injury it's best to take it easy for a week or so before resuming a workout. You may want to try moist heat and massage
