Isometric Neck Extension are perform to improve neck extension as sometimes it's difficult to extend your neck due to pain your ROM is restricted. Also muscles need strengthening.

Isometrics Neck Retraction

Isometric Neck Retraction is the exercise in which patient use arms muscles along with neck muscles. It's also a stretch of pectoralis major muscle as we place our arms behind the head.

Trapezoius, Scalene, Levator Scapulae Stretch

These are the best exercise to relieve pain and improve your shortened muscles as muscles reduced their length in pain phase to compensate. You can perform any of 2 stretches for your weekly lesson.

5 to 10 minutes heat up before exercise is necessary as muscles relax after heating then you can perform exercise easily. Also do soft tissue mobilization before performing these exercises to reduce pain. Perform 5, 5 repetitions on first week then increase accordingly. These are the exercises for beginners as other exercises can by performed by professionals and experienced physiotherapist or gym trainer.
