Hi,

This question is very open, unless we know the level of cervical spine affected it will be hard to give exercise. But here are some important posture tips that will help in decreasing pain:

1. Work on your neck posture. For example, when you type on your smart phone, keep it at eye level instead of bending down.
2. Always make sure your laptop and/or PC screen is at eye level.
3. In general, you can google neck stretches and also work on shoulder relaxation and shrugs.

Overall, the above three can help manage symptoms to some extent.
