What the heck do I do about it? – Now that we understand what this type of neck pain is and why you might suffer from it, let’s talk about the real reason you’re here – what do we do about it?!

Your FREE home exercise program is listed below; first a quick word about one more thing you can do to “Feel Better Now”…
Heat! Throw a heating pack on there in the morning and at night. (Lots of people ask me “should I put heat or ice on my injury? So many, in fact, I decided to just write a blog post to answer this question – check it out here!). Heat is great at opening up capillary beds and promoting blood flow to an injured area. It also promotes muscle relaxation so it will really help with some of those tight, achy muscles.
Which brings us to the money maker! Here is your downloadable home exercise program for the treatment of mechanical neck pain! As always, the website I used to generate this program is www.hep2go.com – the best site for rehab professionals in caring for their patients.
