Deep neck flexor exercises – Back and neck
Someone below wrote, " Doing these gives me a 100% guaranteed 3 day long headache. "I have something like this and I've spent many years trying to figure it out.  One MRI (which showed nada), three or four doctors, several years of physical therapy, and a personal trainer who studied the problem later, and I am concluding the following:- I have loosey goosey joints more than other people.  It's not extreme but enough.- I have usage of computers that far exceeds 90% of the population (12+ hours a day).- When the joints are loose, things get inflamed.  When tendons and the joint structures get inflamed, the bodies responds protectively by tightening (turning on) stabilizer muscles- Stabilizer muscles can be weak and thus get overworked, causing spasms and other issues- Tight muscles can cause imbalances, further causing a chain reaction of more inflammation and spasmsI've been doing weightlifting (not bodybuilding which you should not do if you value your body long-term! Strength Training and a bit of Olympic Weightlifting) for a number of years.  I've been analyzing and thinking about posture for years.  I'm typing this on a standing desk at home that has a monitor with an articulating arm (similar setup at work).  I use left and right mice alternating.  I sit and stand, alternating.  I do neck stretches every morning and some isometric neck stuff.  I suspect part of my problem is shoulder mobility so I also do daily scapular work.Yet.  I suffer from neck pain every few days with flare-ups that last days and sometimes go away for a week or two.Medicine:  You Suck!  We can send robots to Mars and make self-driving cars, but due to the incoherence of modern medicine, I spend hours watching Yoga and PT videos and end up memorizing the names of bones and joints and physiological movements.  And I suffer.  Fuck you, Medicine!Glad I got that off my chest.
