Stiff Neck Relief in 30 Seconds! Dr. Mandell

[0:00]If you're having a stiff neck or neck pain, you notice that you can't move it. You might have woken up that way or just might have been chronic. If it's my left side, I want to stretch it. We're going to do a neurological technique that's actually going to reset the muscles, trick the brain. So we're going to take our hand and we're going to pull it to that side. If that's all we can go, that's okay. You're going to take your head, you're going to resist it back against your hand for five seconds, like this. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. And then you relax, and you'll pull more. What this does is tricks the brain, it says messages back to the muscles, so they can relax. After the point you can't stretch it anymore, push back again five seconds, 2, 3, 4, 5, relax and come over more. You can do that in any part of your neck by tricking the brain that will relax the muscle and increase your motion.
