Headaches have a bad habit of making their appearance at the most inconvenient times. The middle of the workday, early in the evening when you have hours of responsibilities ahead of you, or even first thing in the morning when you are trying to pay attention to your morning meeting — headaches don’t care how important the work ahead of you is. When they start, they are hard to stop.

daily. It isn’t always the result of something large. While being in a car accident or experiencing another sort of injury can definitely lead to chronic neck pain, the cause of the issue isn’t always as simple to identify. Sometimes it is a bad habit that you don’t really think twice about, like your habit of watching TV as you fall asleep, keeping your neck at an odd angle as you rest for the evening, or maybe as a result of your posture as you type at your desk every day, hunched over at the shoulders with your neck catching the brunt of your slouch. These poor habits are common, and most of us consider them to be harmless. Sure, you know it isn’t great for you, but what is actually going to happen? It’s a lot easier to slouch as you type, and who doesn’t want to catch a few late-night laughsas they fallasleep?But the reality is that theseseemingly irrelevanthabits could be putting undue stress on your neck, and if you aren’t careful, this could translate to regular and uncomfortable headaches that are difficult to get rid of.

4 5 1 When this is an issue, working with a physical therapist may be able to help. Stretching the muscles in your neck to alleviate neck strain can reduce the severity and regularity of your headaches. Stretching the muscles that have grown tight along the back of your neck as well as those along the shoulders can help you find relief from the tension that is causing your pain. When dealing with neck pain, it is important to remember that safety has to come first. While there are many simple activities you can try at home to begin stretchingyourneckmuscles,workingwithaphysical therapist is theonlyway to ensure thatyouarestretching inaway thatwon’tpotentially lead togreater injury.

One of the most common causes of headaches due to neck pain is forward head position. Forward head position means that when you are resting your head, you are continuing to hold your head slightly forward, which is a type of slouching position. You can identify whether or not you have a forward head position by standing straightagainst thewallanddeterminingwhetherornotyourhead restsagainst the wall as your back does. If your head does not touch the wall when you are standing straight, then you aren’t fully standing up straight! As years go by and day after day you continue to hold your head in this forward position, you can start to experience pain as a result of strain in the muscles of the neck.

ATHLETE SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT
"Senior guard Kayla Henning is a four-year varsity player, but her health has made consistency difficult at times. Lingering back issues affected her as a sophomore. Her junior year, she was returning from an ACL injury. But Henning’s senior year has been different so far. 'I was telling my mom, this is the first time that I feel completely healthy going into the season,' Henning said. 'After I tore my ACL, I took my body more seriously. Before my ACL, I was pretty naturally strong and athletic. I didn’t really work on my strength that much, because I was strong already.' '[They] helped me understand my body and work on different muscles that you don’t think about but use all the time,' Henning said. 'I think that has been the difference when it comes to those nagging and annoying injuries. I don’t really feel those anymore because I’ve worked those muscles.' Her teammates and coaches said they see the difference." - The Chicago Tribune
