The good news is that there is a lot you can do to support the healthy operation of your neck, thereby reducing the severity or frequency of your neck pain. During physical therapy, your neck pain will be addressed holistically, taking into consideration the initial injury that may have caused the pain to develop and any other habits, movements, or compensations that may contribute to the discomfort. Physical therapy uses strategies like manual therapy, targeted stretching, and strengthening exercises to reduce neck pain. Most of these strategies can be adopted as a home program to help you address your neck pain when it’s bothering you the most.
