That’s a wrap on the Neck Pain Series. 🎬

Neck pain often builds from small daily habits—posture, screen time, and exercise mechanics. The good news is that when we correct those patterns, the neck usually responds very well.

If you learned something from this series, save this post and share it with someone who could use a little neck relief.

And if your neck has been bothering you, Strait Posture Physical Therapy is here to help you fix the cause and get back to feeling your best. . . . . .

Neck pain after cycling? You’re not alone. 🚴‍♂️
Long rides with the neck held in extension can overload the cervical spine and lead to chronic stiffness, headaches, and pain over time. Proper bike fit, posture, and targeted mobility can make a huge difference. If cycling is starting to bother your neck, it may be time for a professional posture and movement assessment—schedule an appointment and ride pain-free again. https://straitposture.com

HOW FAR SHOULD YOUR NECK GO?
The neck is the most flexible part of your spine. If you have full range of motion, you should be able to do the following: 1.Touch your chin nearly to your chest. This is called flexion, and it should allow movement of about 60°.
2. Look almost straight up to the sky. This movement is extension, and it should allow you to tilt your head back about 70°.
3. Rotate your head left or right until it is almost even with either shoulder.
4. Tilt your head sideways to the left or right, halfway to either shoulder. (This is a lateral bend, and it will let your head move about 45°.

Range of motion decreases somewhat with age, but see Dr. Strait to check on new or significant restrictions. Moving your neck through its complete range of motion daily can help prevent neck pain and help maintain a healthy range of motion. https://straitposture.com/

The Neck: Where Bone, Muscle and Nerve Converge. The neck has an intricate scaffolding of bones that provide support for your head and protection for your spinal column. Because of these intricate parts, it is prone to injury and pain. Bones may compress delicate nerves, joints can deteriorate, and discs can bulge - All causing discomfort and pain. Understanding the anatomy of the neck will help you understand your pain and how to prevent it altogether.
*DR. DONNA’S DAILY DOSE* - Patient Education = Empowerment = Pain-Free Life.

Why is the neck so vulnerable to strain and injury? It’s because of the nature of the tasks it must perform and their requirements for both strength & precision. The neck supports the weight of the head, which is about 11 pounds on average. Imagine how tired your arm would be if you had to hold even a light umbrella for 16 hours. Your neck supports a much heavier weight all day, every day. *DR. DONNA’S DAILY DOSE* - You don’t have to endure neck pain. Take it from me. I’m living proof.
