Wishing Your Pain Away... - Neck Pain Support

It’s a nice dream but never comes true. It’s much like anything else; it never just happens. I remember the famous quote: “Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.” This is basically saying you usually don’t just get “lucky”. Like lucky enough to wake up one day and have no more neck pain. You have to work at it and be prepared and lady luck will show her face. Except it really isn’t luck but hard work that you now get rewarded for with the fruits of your labor.

So what are you waiting for get working on that neck. Here’s an example of someone I know that beat her neck pain, and instead of letting it control her, she controls it.

Everyday she gets up and takes a hot shower soaking her neck for a few minutes
Next she does various neck stretches and neck exercises
She eats a healthy breakfast, gets the kids a good breakfast also, makes their lunches and sees them off to school, and relaxes a bit before heading to work.
Work mainly consists of being a a computer so she’s set it up as ergonomically propper as possible.
She also tries to get up and move around and stretch hourly. Not to mention she always keeps a bottle of water easily accessible (she will typically drink the equivalent of 6 big glasses of water each day).
Come home, do her normal family duties. Dinner, dinner with the family, some TV, etc…
hits the treadmill for a few minutes
Showers before bed doing some self neck massage
Lastly, goes to sleep with her neck pillow and also tries to visualize herself pain free before drifting off to sleep.

There you have it, a lot of work, but is it worth it?? She still does this routine or at least an abbreviated version because she doesn’t want that neck discomfort to return.
