Neck pain remains one of the most complained about health issues in Greenbelt, MD. Recent studies show that daily exercises aimed towards strengthening the collar region is probably more vital than stretching especially when it comes to alleviating pain. Below are some of the ways to keep the stem pain at bay.

In the office when you have a feeling of exasperation, simply push your palm against the forehead. A good number of Greenbelt resident complain of this discomfort because of tensed muscular action or when under pressure. This makes the neck to be stiff with time. Practicing this strengthens the muscles and also takes away the tension.

Assume this position for at least five seconds. Do this again three to five times for the muscles around the collar stem to be strong.

Retract the blades of your shoulders when you watch television. Sit on the edge of your seat. Make your backbone long as if you were trying to simulate a higher height. On the lap, place your hands and bring your shoulders as back as possible so your blades are touch. Hold for about a minute then relax. Repeat this procedure again in the course your evening.

When you finally get home from your daily routine activities, fill a tube sock with white rice just above the three quarter level, two cinnamon sticks and a teaspoon of cloves. Seal the open end with an elastic band, then heat the contents in a microwave and drape around the neck for an aromatic therapy. You need not empty the tube as you can use it over and over again.

When you drive or using the computer, you often jut your head forward. Because of the weight, there is stress developed at the rear side of the neck.

Bring your head back and forth maintaining the chin level. Count to five then do this another nine times.

Another method to prevent yourself from experiencing a neck hurt is to drop your chin towards the thoracic area, then roll your neck to the right, back, left and down again as if drawing a circle with your head. For good results, do this for at least five times then rotate your head to the opposite direction starting with a roll to the left.

Most people residing in Greenbelt, MD are too held up with our daily activities such that they fail to be involved in exercising activities aimed towards strengthening the neck muscles.
