Why functional strength is one of the keys to reducing neck pain It’s not a SURPRISE that working at a computer all day makes our necks hurt. Most folks assess that their neck pain is related to excess tension - and then turn to massage, chiropractors, or stretching to help make it feel better. We love all those modalities and think they can be a part of the puzzle for healing neck pain. And we also believe that in order to reduce the onset of neck pain in the first place, you have to build your functional strength. That means strengthening your core and spinal muscles so you can improve your posture and support your head without overworking your neck. It means strengthening your shoulder girdle so you can do basic tasks with good form, without straining your neck. Want to start to build strength the smart way, so you can sit taller, reduce tension, and ease your neck pain? Start with a Back in Action Pilates Assessment.
