Yoga instructor says stretches and breathing exercises are good method of neck pain treatment
Fall is probably the best time of the year for sleeping. It's not too hot and it's not too cold – the temperature is perfect for you to curl up under a cozy comforter and drift off. But imagine waking up with intense neck pain after a good night's sleep. This uncomfortable condition can throw off your entire routine and make you feel cranky before the day has even begun. The ailment is common among people in the U.S., which may be why millions of Americans have adopted the holistic regimen of yoga.
The Eastern program – which features gentle stretches, calming poses and refreshing breathing exercises – is known to be an excellent method of neck pain treatment. Many enthusiasts say that the tranquil maneuvers have helped them relieve the stress, tension and discomfort associated with the condition.
"Most of us suffer from overly tight shoulder and neck muscles," said yoga instructor Julie Aha, quoted by the Gettysburg Times. "It's often caused by bending our heads forward to read, work on our computers and perform our daily chores."
She explained that this stresses the muscles on the back of the neck. Gently stretching this area and strengthening it through yoga can be a good way to sleep through the night and rest assured that you will wake up pain-free.
