Woke up again with neck pain this morning
Or perhaps you find it painful to turn your head to check your blind spot while driving 

If you answered yes to the above statements, then you’re not alone. Neck pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide  and its occurrence has increased dramatically over the past 25 years.  While most episodes of neck pain are likely to get better within a few months, half to three-quarters of people who have neck pain will experience repeated episodes of pain.

Studies have shown that poor sleep, reduced physical activity and increased stress important factors that influence neck pain. This means that by exercising and keeping a active lifestyle by even simply walking a greater number of steps each day, is proven to protect against getting neck pain. This, along with making sure we don’t become sleep deprived and stressed can effectively reduce and prevent neck pain successfully.

So if you do have neck pain, get a few early nights, consider doing something relaxing – and why not go for a walk at lunchtime.
