3 Things NOT to do if you Have Neck Pain

Don’t do these 3 things when you have neck pain….oh…watch until the end and I’ll share with you the ONE thing I do when my neck hurts.

Don’t stretch to the painful side – that no pain no gain doesn’t really help when you are in physical pain. Rather it’s a mindset to not give up….
Don’t rest and NOT move it – it might feel easier at that moment but it will cause your neck pain to last longer so keep moving just do it gently.
Don’t ignore it if it lasts for over a week. Get some help. Going to a trusted OT or PT who knows what they are doing can help you not just get out of pain but get to the root cause. There’s a deeper reason why you get neck pain when oh just sleeping wrong.

Here’s my tried and true for when my neck hurts because I overdid a workout or overextended myself on a client…

I do standing extensions. The muscles that go to your neck….start in your lower back and go up and up to your neck. It’s all connected. It’s the easiest explanation without going into all the complications of anatomy

But it works the majority of the time to reduce your neck pain. Obviously inside a session at my clinic – we dive a lot deeper into what other joints are not moving WELL as compared to your neck…but this one move is a simple one that you can try until you get to see your trusted OT or PT.
