Yoga:

1. Cow Pose:

The Cow pose works on the torso as well as the neck region. It will also massage your spine and belly.

Stretches:

You should also do a few stretches in order to find relief. They will strengthen the muscles in your abdominals and support them as well. Just make sure you don’t over stretch as it always leads to a significant decrease in the effectiveness of strength training by almost 28 percent.
