Re: Pulled a muscle in my neck
[ QUOTE ]
I have no idea how, but this morning I reached for something over and my neck shot out in pain. I wake up with a 'stiff' neck every so often, persumably from sleeping in some wierd position, and the feeling is similar to that. I can move my neck but it hurts and certain angles hurt alot more.
I've been trying to turn, twist, stretch, rub, roll my sholders, even grab and pull my head with my hands, etc, but I think I'm making it worse, not better.
What is the proper way to treat this?

get in the shower and aim hot water on the sore neck. put your hand on top of your head and lightly pull either side 15-20 seconds to each side, repeat x2. if you hear a slight pop, do not be alarmed. in my experience it is just the muscles stretching
