Is neck oa like hip oa? when i walk a lot, my hip stiffness eases. what exercise can i do to improve neck/upper back tightness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heat/stretch: The best way to stretch your neck and upper back is to get the muscle warm with a heating pad or warm shower then do gentle stretches through the range of motion of the muscles. Hold each stretch for one minute. Doing yoga is also a great way to stretch out the muscles.
