WHAT A PAIN IN THE NECK!!!

Neck Pain Relief

Sitting at a desk, working on your feet, stress, and postural deficiencies can all cause neck pain. With advancements in technology, neck pain is becoming more prominent because of the positioning of the neck  and shoulders while looking at a computer or phone screen. According to the National Centers for Health Statistics, neck pain is the third most common pain for Americans. Over half of the population will experience neck pain in their lifetime. Neck pain can leave you feeling exhausted, can affect your overall mood, and can hinder your ability to complete daily tasks.  Implementing a program to help relieve the tension in these areas while increasing your range of motion will help to keep you feeling great. Here are a few stretches and strengthening exercises to help you get through your day!


***Important note***: When completing these exercises, never move into the pain. Each exercise is meant to slowly increase your range of motion while alleviating any tension you may be experiencing. Pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone can negatively affect your progress.
