Neck pain are extremely common in this world of desk jobs. However, most cases aren’t a result of any serious underlying condition. Typically, your pain should ease within two weeks and you should completely recover within a period of 4-6 week period.
In the mean time we have compiled certain neck exercises that you should do for 6-8 weeks to stop the symptoms from returning.
Neck Stretch
First and foremost, keep the rest of your body straight, then simply push your chin forward in a way that your throat gets stretched. Mildly tense your neck muscles and stay in that position for 5 seconds. Follow it with returning your head to the center and pushing it backwards, keeping your chin up. Stay in this position for 5 seconds. Repeat this exercise 5 times.

Neck Turn
Turn your head towards one side, with the chin kept at the same height and move it within comfortable limits. Mildly tense your neck muscles and stay in that same position for 5 seconds. Bring your head back to center and repeat the same on the opposite side. Repeat this exercise 5 times on each side.
