Brief Answer:
Neck extension exercises
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for query
Neck extension exercises especially isometric
Put your joined palms behind your head and try to push forward ...at the same time resist this pushing by keeping neck fixed in slightly extended position...do this for 10-15 seconds ..for 10-20 times a day . To augment the effect you may add holding breath for that duration if you are comfortable with it.
Similar exercise may be repeated by placing palm on either side of face and in front on forehead.
You sit with neck supported
avoid bending neck forward
Avoid use of heavy pillow
Hope this helps . You may take help of physiotherapist .
