I lost the bookmark when my hard disk crashed, but a friend gave me a site with facial exercises - to prevent double-chins, wrinkles, etc. - when I tried them it really helped with the neck stiffness, even though it wasn't meant for that. But they made me feel a LOT better (and hey, maybe it'll help prevent wrinkles, too ;)
I'll see if I can find it again. And I'm betting chiropractic would help, too. |

I can't find the exercises page, but I did find a summary page of some - these are the ones where I've noticed I definitely FELT something happening, and it's been loosening up my neck some. I kind of doubt it will prevent wrinkles, but it might help loosen up your stiff neck, too:
Tilt your head backwards while lifting your chin up to the ceiling. Hold this position while making chewing motions with the mouth. The first time I did this one - whoa! I could really feel how tight my whole throat area was, but it did eventually start to loosen up.
Slowly and gently roll your head around on your neck, as if trying to touch your shoulders with your ears - I do this one about five times each side if I can.
I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on the Internet, but maybe it'll help? If it hurts way too much (not just stiffness hurt), obviously don't do it! |
