Do you have problems looking sideways?
Would you like to turn your head again?
Stiff Neck
Stiff Neck often features soreness and difficulty moving the neck, especially when turning the head sideways. It may accompany Headaches or NeckPain, which can radiate into the shoulder and arm. Rather than turning the head when looking sideways or backwards, the person requires turning their entire body. Symptoms typically persist for days to a week, potentially including restrictive and uncomfortable movements.
Spending excessive time in awkward positions, such as hunching forward to view computer monitors, or cradling phones between neck and shoulder can trigger a Stiff Neck, as can carrying heavy objects on one body side.
Releasing Stiff Neck tension can be quite involved as it forms part of the body's programming. Since the muscle system reaches maximum load limits, even simple movements can result in neck stiffening. However, often this Pain may show improvement following the first Osteopressure session.
