1. Neck movements

Sitting on your knees, bend your neck to the left while holding your left hand near your right ear and then bend your neck to the right while holding your right hand near your left ear. Repeat twice. Then bend your head forward, keeping your right hand on the back of your neck and finally bend it back.

2. Valsavia maneuver

Perform the Valsalva maneuver: inhale deeply and cover your nose with your fingers, to exhale forcibly with your mouth closed. Hold the breath for 10 seconds and then release. Perform 4 times.

3. Eye movements

In a supine position, the hands are behind the head, as if we were sunbathing. Rotate your eyes to the right, without moving your head and remain in position for 60 seconds, then do the same again to the left, for a total of 6 repetitions.

Not only these exercises improve circulation and muscle tonebut they also help relax the body and mind, reducing stress levels.
“Personally I propose a holistic approach to well-beingwhich combines physical exercise with a healthy diet and the maintenance of correct posture, and, at the same time, must be designed for the genetic characteristics of each person” – concludes Chiara Fazzini.
