Here are some exercises for people with spastic torticollis that can help relieve symptoms:
1.Neck Extension: Slowly tilt your head to one side to stretch your neck muscles, hold for a few moments and then switch to the other side. Repeat this a few times to relieve tension in the neck muscles.
2.Rotate your neck and gently turn your head, first clockwise and then counterclockwise. Be careful to move slowly and steadily, and avoid overexertion.
3.Shoulder Relaxation: Lift your shoulders up, then slowly lower them and repeat a few times to relax the muscles in your shoulders and neck.
4.Facial exercises: Performing some simple facial exercises, such as blinking, frowning, smiling, etc., can help relax facial muscles and reduce tension in the neck.
5.Deep breathing exercises: Deep breathing can help relax the body and relieve tension. Sit or stand in a comfortable position, inhale slowly, then exhale slowly, repeating several times.
6.Balance training: Doing some balance exercises, such as standing on one foot or using a balance board, can improve the body's balance and coordination and reduce the burden on the neck.
7.Yoga and Pilates: These exercises include some stretching and strengthening movements for the neck and body that can relieve symptoms by adjusting breathing and body posture.
8.Warm compresses and massages: Using a hot towel or compress on the neck and gently massaging the neck muscles can help promote blood circulation and relax the muscles.
