How's that neck feeling??

I have constant problems with my neck, and now that I"m standing on my head all the time it just seems to be getting worse. My gymnastics coach found a huge not up by my ocipital bone yesterday and tried to rub it out. He says that it seemed more like a tension knot and then with the added strain from all the neck work, it just got worse..

Before doing your exercises, make sure you stretch your neck out. Do head rolls in both directions, and then touch your ear to your shoulder, then chin to armpit,, and hold for a short time.. this might help.. also like you said, leave your head on the floor until your abs get stronger and take the strain off of your neck. When a muscle is over strained it will rely on other muscles to help out with the load. Unfortunately, when it comes to ab exercises and the like, your neck will end up taking the load and cause problems.

Hope you feel better.
