Neck pain, fortunately, can be alleviated with therapy. Because neck pain is often caused by activity, different activity can cure it. Sometimes, this “activity” means “no activity.” Before you contact a professional, try reducing your neck movements. Sometimes, simply letting your neck muscles relax is enough. If you don’t see relief within two weeks, contact a professional. Your therapist can target your pain’s source by examining your symptoms. Then, they can offer exercises that stretch, flex and relax your neck muscles. In time, your neck will become more resilient — giving you the comfort you deserve. Where after-care treatment is considered, custom-tailored neck exercises will assure your neck stays loose, limber and healthy. If you’re dealing with neck pain, you’re not alone. Call our H2Orthopedic office today, and schedule an assessment. Even if your neck pain is caused by stress, it still needs attention.

SUCCESS STORIES
The therapists are highly skilled and knowledgeable, providing
the attention needed for my mobility challenges. I have benefitted from the aquatic therapy. The warmth coupled with the buoyancy of my body creates an exhilarating experience. At other times, I have used the gym. Jackie worked on my arm, shoulder, and neck. The pain was alleviated and I received instruction on exercises that are done at home. Another time Larry offered outstanding advice how to sit on my wheelchair. Now, I am comfortable with better posture for many more hours. This has been a joyful experience. The sessions are fun and I look forward to each visit." – S. B.
• 1½ teaspoons fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme, crushed • 2 large zucchini , halved lengthwise
Combine oil, garlic and crushed red pepper in a small skillet over low heat. Cook, stirring often, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in panko, Parmesan, thyme, lemon zest and salt. Preheat grill to at least 500°F. Oil the grill grates, using tongs to hold an oil-soaked paper towel. Place zucchini, cut-sides down, on the oiled grates; grill, uncovered, until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Flip the zucchini so they are cut-side up; spoon the panko mixture evenly on top. Grill, covered, until the topping is golden brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Serve with lemon wedges.
