After low back pain, neck pan is number two on the list of painful conditions.
What has your medical specialist recommended to decrease your neck pain? Pills or posture?
Pills are temporary and don’t fix the real ill. We all struggle with maintaining good posture. For some poor postural habits are caused by the computers, phones and tablets we are connected to each day. For others you are not getting the recommended amount of weekly exercise. Rarely is it due to age or degeneration. Your body was designed to move you through life. With a little care and maintenance pain will never be a chronic problem.
You can learn a few simple techniques to improve your posture and decrease your pain. If you work these into your program you might even abolish your pain for good!
