Step by Step

  1. If you need to improve the basic strength in your neck then this is an excellent group of exercises
  2. Remember these exercises should be pain free during after and the next day.
  3. Each exercise should be held for 10 seconds with a pressure that is below your pain threshold, therefore it shouldn’t increase your pain at all. If it does then push with less pressure.
  4. You should aim to build up to 4 sets of this exercise with a few minutes between your sets
  5. You should aim to perform all of these exercises twice per day
  6. It is also important to perform all exercises in a good posture at all times.
  7. Flexion
  8. With good neck posture. Press onto your forehead with your hands and simply maintain the good neck posture against the resistance.
  9. Extension
  10. With good neck posture. Wrap a towel around the back of your head and pull forwards and simply maintain the good neck posture against the resistance.
  11. Side flexion
  12. With good neck posture. Take one arm over your head and place your hand on the opposite side of your head and pull your head to the side but again maintain the good neck posture against the resistance. Repeat for the other side.
  13. Rotation
  14. With good neck posture. Press onto your cheek with your hand and try to push your head to make it turn to the side and simply maintain the good neck posture against the resistance.
  15. Strength takes time to establish so be patient as it could takes several weeks to achieve improvements.

Online Physiotherapy

Put simply this is Physio done via either telephone or video over the internet. Skype and facetime are examples of this.

Contrary to popular belief online physiotherapy can be very effective and it can help the same injuries that face to face physio can help. I have helped many people with injuries such as disc prolapses, tennis elbow, neck pain and much more).
