What should i do to get rid of permanent stiff neck & shoulders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Permanent is...: By definition, if stiffness is permanent, there is no reversal. If you are using the term permanent incorrectly as a replacement for chronic (> 3 months) then that is different. Proper stretching is very effective in decreasing stiffness and increasing function. Often, this has best effect with direction from a certified physical therapist. Best results before contracture occurs.
