Watch: Quick Stretches to Ease Neck Pain

Introduction

Neck pain is one of the most common challenges driving instructors face. Long hours of sitting, combined with constantly glancing at learners, put strain on the muscles, especially on one side of the neck.

Key Insights

In this short video, we share a few simple stretches you can do between lessons to release that tension and protect your posture:

  • Gently lower your chin to your chest.
  • Look up towards the ceiling — only as far as feels good.
  • Tilt side to side to ease stiffness in both directions.

Practical Tips for Instructors

The key is comfort. Stretching should feel relieving, never painful. With regular practice, these micro-movements can reduce stiffness, help you sit taller, and make those long teaching days more manageable.
