Sit tall on a chair. Hold the edge of the seat with one hand, to keep that shoulder down. Slowly tilt your head away from that hand, with your ear towards the other shoulder, until you feel a gentle stretch. It should not hurt. Hold, breathing normally, then come back slowly. Then do the other side. One hold on each side counts as one.
If an exercise hurts more than you expect, stop and contact your clinician.
