PK Sound at Resolution 2017’s Enchanted Forest stage was a basshead’s dream. 150K watts of pure power shook our bodies to the core as we head banged to Trampa, Eptic, Sound Remedy (for the last time) and more! At the time, we were feeling one with the music, raging in an incredibly tight space with hundreds of wonderful souls. The morning after? We were feeling something different: soreness beyond belief.

To increase the stretch in your neck, slowly lower your right ear toward your shoulder. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides.

Start by sitting up with your back straight and tuck your chin into your chest, like you are trying to give yourself a double chin. For added pressure, push your chin down with two fingers. Hold for three seconds. Repeat 10 times. This exercise strengthens the muscles that pull the head back into alignment over the shoulders and improves postural habits, if done daily.
