Do you often feel like your neck is tight, stiff, or constantly under pressure? Chronic neck tension is a common issue that can stem from stress, poor posture, or muscle imbalances. At Darwin Health Group, we specialise in helping Darwin residents find relief from chronic neck tension and improve their overall quality of life.
What is Chronic Neck Tension?
Chronic neck tension refers to ongoing tightness or discomfort in the neck and shoulder muscles. It’s often caused by:
Poor posture (e.g., slouching or forward head posture).
Prolonged desk work or screen time.
Stress and anxiety, which can cause muscle tightness.
Weakness or imbalance in the neck and shoulder muscles.
How to Fix It
Stretching: Gentle stretches for the neck and shoulders can help relieve tension.
Strengthening Exercises: Building strength in the neck and upper back can improve posture and reduce strain.
Stress Management: Techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can help reduce muscle tension caused by stress.
Ergonomic Adjustments: Ensure your workspace is set up to support good posture.
