TL;DR Summary

Neck pain is a common problem caused by strains and sprains to the muscles and ligaments. Aging and lack of movement lead the muscles covering connective tissue, called fascia, to tighten throughout the body, creating sensitive areas called trigger points. Movement and stretching can hydrate and loosen fascia and muscles. Spine experts recommend trying exercises like box breathing, head retraction, thoracic spine extensions, shoulder rolls, and seated reverse shoulder fly to prevent and ease neck pain.
