What are EMFs?

Use Speaker Phone

EMFs are ElectroMagnetic Fields.

From being near electrical boxes, even to talking too much on our cell...

None of us like to be bombarded with more.

This is also one reason we use speaker phone. We don't have to constantly put the phone against our head.

Don't Drink Right Before Bed

Don't Have Too Much...

Drinking right before bed means you'll have to get up to pee.

Also, if you must drink, make it water.

Have a glass ready to go for drinking in the morning. This way, any additional chlorine can evaporate out.

Have Someone Stretch Out Your Neck

Seated Neck Stretch

Clearly you can stretch out your own neck...however seeing something through another's eyes can be different than you thought.

Maybe it's your Chiropractor following your adjustment? He or she can also show you more stretches.

Neck Traction can help too. Essentially, when your doctor or therapist pulls on the head and neck, that is cervical traction.

You can also stretch in the shower. Let that hot water soak on the neck. I like the shower because I can use soap also for a smoother massage.

Stretching The Neck

Lateral Cervical Stretch

A common and easy way to loosen up and stretch the neck are half circles.

Start by bending the head forward. Then bring one ear toward the shoulder, and then the other.

Next bend the head back and do the same thing.

wa-la! done! Neck stretched!

Massage While You Stretch.

Lateral head massage

Do the lateral head or neck bend.

Next, Reach up with the hand opposite the side you are stretching to.

Then, make a fist and run it down that muscle. That's it!

You can get more adventurous and use your finger tips or even a massage tool...
