Get rid of neck pain
Neck pain is something most of us have experienced in our lives. It feels like a severe locking of the vertebrae and muscles of the neck, which can make moving your head painful and restricted. This can make life very difficult for many people and you want to get rid of the pain as soon as possible.
How to get rid of neck pain
Neck pain can be caused by several factors, but most often it is due to some form of overexertion in the neck area. This causes the body’s muscles, joints and fascia to go in and defend the area to keep it stable. This limits the mobility of the neck and we experience the area as stiff and painful. Neck pain usually goes away on its own if you give it time and take it easy. However, you should not be still as many people think, but the body heals best if it can move. It is important to avoid cold and wind as it tends to make the neck stiffen even more.
Applying heat from a wheat pillow, scarf, hot shower etc can help the neck lock to release. There are also simple stretching and movement exercises you can do yourself to help the neck lock release.
If the pain does not go away or if you want faster help, fascia treatment is recommended. The treatment increases flow in the body, which in turn increases relaxation, circulation and fluid flow, helping the body to heal itself.
Quick fix neck pain
If you want a quick fix to relieve your neck pain, tiger balm is a hot tip. It is a world-renowned and well-proven preparation for the relief of muscle pain and stiffness.
Examples of soft movement exercises are:
Roll your shoulders in circles in both directions
Roll ball that you put between the forehead and a wall
Relaxation exercise and deep breathing. Lie on the floor, on your back with your hips and knees at a 90° angle on a chair, stool or similar. Relax and stay like that, deep breathing for 10 minutes. The ligaments and muscles along your spine relax and your body becomes more balanced.
Stretch your chest muscles. Lie on your stomach and put your arm out from your body with your elbow at a 90 degree angle at shoulder height. With your ear on the same side resting on the floor, place the palm of your other arm at chest level and push off so that you press your torso up off the ground and towards the arm that is at a 90 degree angle. Let your hip follow the press up in a twist towards the ceiling and place the upper leg behind the lower leg. Stay in this position for 3-5 minutes
