Got A Stiff Neck??

Here Are Some Simple Stretches To Keep You Moving.

Pain Is Just Weakness Leaving Your Body....

...So Let's Strengthen That Neck!

Neck and upper back pain is quite often has a root cause of muscle weakness. When the muscles that support your neck, upper back and shoulders aren't strong enough to resist the constant pull of gravity, you can develop protective muscle spasms or "knots" in the postural muscles. These form because your muscles still need to hold your head up and your shoulder back...and hours of time on keyboards or smartphones taxes them to a point that they want to quit. If you are not doing regular strength training to build and maintain strength in these muscles, it is likely you could develop neck and upper back pain. There are some simple things you can do at home (or a the gym) that can help prevent or alleviate this strength related neck pain.
