The 7-Day Neck Reset

A simple seven-day routine for people who spend long hours at a desk, looking at screens, driving or carrying everyday tension in the neck and shoulders.

Day 1: Notice your tension

Take five minutes to notice when your neck and shoulders feel most tense. Identify the part of your day when you need a reset most.

Day 2: Reset your workstation

Bring your screen closer to eye level, keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid holding your phone between your shoulder and ear.

Day 3: Add a short recovery session

Use a comfortable heat or massage routine for up to 15 minutes. Stop if anything feels painful or unusual.

Day 4: Break up long sitting periods

Stand, walk and change position regularly instead of staying in one posture for hours.

Day 5: Build an evening wind-down

Use your recovery routine after work or before bed as a consistent cue to slow down.

Day 6: Pair recovery with movement

Add gentle movement and normal daily activity. Recovery tools work best as part of a broader routine.

Day 7: Keep what works

Choose the one or two habits that made the biggest difference to your routine and keep them going next week.
