Try This To Reduce Your Neck Pain

Any muscle group in the body can become tight and painful, but it seems that the neck muscles are more prone to pain from staying in a position for too long, repetitive motion, or for no apparent reason at all. If you suffer from neck pain associated with stiffness and tight muscle ligaments, you may find relief by stretching the muscles daily at home.

Shoulder Rolls: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Take a moment to make sure your posture is correct and you are standing straight. Roll your shoulders forward 5 times. Then roll your shoulders back 5 times. Repeat throughout the day as needed for flexibility.

Neck Tilts: Start with good posture. Tilt your neck forward with your chin down for 15 seconds. Then tilt your neck back with your chin towards the ceiling for 15 seconds. It is that simple. Try this position as needed throughout the day.

Side Tilts: The same concept as the forward tilts applies here except while in perfect posture position, hold your neck to the left then the right for 15 seconds each.

Improving your flexibility and having your posture checked regularly will greatly reduce your neck pain flare-ups.
