How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Lie on your back and place a soft, well-supported roller beneath the base of the skull rather than the middle of the neck.
  2. 02Relax your jaw and shoulders, and keep most of your body weight on the floor so the pressure remains very light.
  3. 03Make tiny nodding motions or turn the head only a few degrees from side to side to change the contact point.
  4. 04Pause and breathe on mildly tense areas without forcing the head, compressing the throat, or rolling down the cervical spine.
  5. 05Come off the roller slowly and stop at once if you develop dizziness, headache, numbness, or radiating discomfort.
