As others have said , make sure that you are fitted properly , that ' s definitely the first move . Then I posted this a few days ago . Yoga is worth considering . I rarely have a problem and if you want it costs nothing . I ' ve done yoga for a few years and swear by it . I rarely get any problems with my neck or shoulders . If I do it doesn ' t last long . I ' ve no idea if that is because of the yoga or not but I try to do a few minutes most days and one proper session a week . There are some really simple routines for neck and shoulders that you can do without having to get changed or to unroll a yoga mat . I often do mine sitting on the sofacouch or sitting at my desk , that ' s what I like about it . There ' s lots of yoga on the internet now Yoga TX is really good on You Tube . They have a lot of routines for beginners including just for neck and shoulders . I would definitely give it a go , it works for me and it doesn ' t have to cost you anything .
