Helpful Hints
SLEEPING:
Your physiotherapist can advise you on the best type of pillow for your neck. Also, avoid sleeping on your front where possible.
AT WORK:
Avoid working with your head down or to one side for too long. Frequently stretch and change position.
COMPUTER USE:
It is important to have a good posture when using a computer. This will minimise the amount of strain on your neck. Think tall: chest lifted, shoulders relaxed, chin tucked in and head level. Speak to your physiotherapist about proper workstation setup.
RELAXATION:
Many people ‘carry’ their stress in their neck and shoulders, leading to hunched shoulders and clenching of the jaw.
