A Simple Test: Is Your Neck The Cause Of Your Pain HEALTH & WELLNESS TIPS

1. Stand normally with a friend facing you to observe your movements. 2. Turn your head left and right as far as you can comfortably. Have your friend note how far you turn. 3. Now sit in a chair and repeat the turning of your head both ways, have your friend again note how far you go.
