Neuromuscular Trigger Point Massage: What Not To Do For Neck Pain Relief.
The last thing you want is to make your neck ache or pain worse, which is exactly what you risk doing when you attempt to heal it with an exercise program. You simply cannot get rid of neck pain with strengthening exercises, if the muscles are short, tight and filled with pain-causing trigger points. If you try, you risk re-injury. The best first line of defense against an aching, stiff neck is to get the muscle spasm and trigger points removed right away by a qualified neuromuscular/trigger point massage therapist. Doing so get’s all the “land-mine” knots out first, so you’re then able to stretch the muscle and eventually strengthen it. To truly get out of neck pain for good, you must try to “lengthen before you strengthen!”
