How to Get Rid of Neck Pain After Sleeping Wrong

Here are 3 techniques for getting rid of neck pain from sleeping wrong.

We've all woken up with a stiff neck or limited range of motion. When you can hardly turn your neck in the morning because of stiffness, you might consider trying a few of these techniques:

0:24 Hand Supported Neck Traction
1:36 Decompression ROM
2:34 Towel Assist Mobilization

Remember, if you're experiencing numbness or tingling in your arm or hand, you should schedule an in-person exam with a physical therapist or physician before doing anything, especially any of these techniques.

Who else is watching this video from a weird angle?😂

I have suffered from neck pain for many years. I discovered that sleeping on my side was the main cause. With me, my side sleeping was allowing my head to tilt forward to where my chin was close to touching my chest. This is why my neck was always stiff and sore when I woke up and was carried over for the entire day. So now I sleep on my back and my neck stays in more of a correct alignment. My neck pain has nearly gone away. Amazing! Wish I had known this decades ago.

Wow man I’ve had a lot of neck pain over the years from sleeping wrong and never thought these things would work, today was just too much and thought I’d look up on YouTube and I gotta say the first one made me feel so much better thank you

I woke up this morning and thought I broke my neck

[kevinmoore]

Obviously didn't make me 100 % better, but definitely a lot better. Thank you sir.

Thankyou for the advice. I woke up in agony two days ago unable to move or turn to the right. Also, trying to raise my arms to tie a pony tail was impossible, bringing a tear to my eye. I tried an Ibuprofen gel but it just dulled the pain, which then spread to my right shoulder. Your exercise has helped so much. 🙂💜💐🇬🇧

[arunarun]

Your methods are working well. Thank you

[philliptshabalala]

Thank you. My neck has been stiff & painful for days. Instant relief after the first action of pulling neck up

[firstnamenlastname]

Fortunately I haven't slept crooked in a while. I'm going to try these the next time though 👍

I love the variations that can be done at the desk. These are very thoughtful, quick, and resourceful videos. Thank you!

Thank you sir for the advise! God bless!

Great video. Provides some relief for sure. This is a reoccurring thing for me and I have numbness in my hands. I assumed it was carpal tunnel. Now I'm wondering about the bulged disc potential you mentioned.

Decompression was a great tip helped lots thanks

[p_rick]

Although this a great video I didn't quite help me bc when I move my head to the left it really really hurts

[andreimirion]

[yedndsi]

I locked my neck and I forgot the pattern to unlock...

[SirMorak]

Surprisingly, after a whole day of not turning my head on the left, I used first technic and it felt a bit better 👍🏻
Can't do the second technic 'coz it hurt ^^ didn't try 3rd one
