MAYBE FOLLOWING: If you possess cervical spondylosis, a wear and tear arthritic process, the exercise might transiently exacerbate the neck joint situation. Muscular strains/sprains may be associated with awkward posturing of your neck with you exercise. Suggest you visit experienced physical therapist, consider personal trainer and revamp your exercise techniques.
