The human neck is a wonderfully engineered body part. Supported on a
pivot like joint; seven small bones let you twist your head andhave a 180
degree view of your surroundings, all the while protecting the delicate
connection between your head and the rest of your spine. Traveling in the
subway today, it dawned upon me, how we abuse such an important part of the.
All around me, I saw people hunched, bent over, leaning, texting, typing and
gaming. The list goes on.No wonder, neck pain is a common complaint. I like to
look at pain as a call to action. Most people resort to drugs and painkillers
or surgery in chronic cases. The solution may or may not give lasting results.

side to side, take a walk, go for a jog, anything you can do to move around is
good. Remember that humans were designed for movement. Movement not only helps
