If the neck musculature is strong, the person can withstand greater force before an injury is sustained. In addition to decreasing neck injuries, strengthening upper body muscles will help prevent chronic conditions.
If you have a past or current neck discomfort then it is vital that you restore your neck and shoulder strength through your rehabilitation program.
Having Strong Neck and Shoulder Muscles will
- Prevent risk of neck sprain
- Prevent chronic or acute injuries to the surrounding muscles of the neck and shoulder
- Protect the adjacent joints
- Improve the performance of your sports and daily activities and productivities
