Neck Pain with Physiotherapist Aaron – Part 2
So what can You do yourself and what can we Physios do to help you?
Step 1: Improve Your Posture
Posture can make a huge difference in managing neck pain. Ensure your workstation is ergonomically set up with your monitor at eye level and your chair supporting your lower back. Regularly remind yourself to sit up straight and get some neck stretches in between work.
Step 2: Perform Neck Stretches and Exercises
Incorporate neck stretches and strengthening exercises into your routine. Gentle stretches like neck tilts and rotations can improve flexibility. Strengthening exercises, such as chin tucks and shoulder blade squeezes, can enhance muscular support around your neck.
Step 3: Seek Professional Help
A professional assessment by a Physiotherapist can be invaluable. A physiotherapist can evaluate your neck’s range of motion, strength, and posture, tell what is going on then provide targeted treatments like manual therapy or specific exercises to address your pain and dysfunction.
Bonus Tip: Take Frequent Breaks
Taking frequent breaks in between activities will put less stress on the muscle and joints of the neck and that help with recovery by allowing the muscles to relax, reducing tension and minimizing risk of making it worse.
