How to combat the natural return-to-slouch?
I’ve been dealing with major neck pain for about 2 years with a major limitation in ROM. I was in PT for about 6 months and have found a decent stretch plan that brings me some help.
My biggest issue is after a stretching session (5-7 mins, 3-4 times a day) I find myself an hour later back at zero. I’ve been working at it for months so I know my zero in January was worse than my May zero, but it’s very incremental.
I’m literally considering some sort of brace to hold my self together after a stretch, but that seems excessive and probably counter intuitive since I want to strengthen those muscles. The problem is they are so weak as is that I can’t figure out a way to keep my head on top of my spine and straight without constantly just thinking about it.
Any tips would help. Thanks 👍
