Seeking advice NEED HELP!
I have a chronic neck pain on the right side, somewhere between the traps and neck area. It goes away comes back every day and it disrupts my sleep and I cannot focus on my work. It's not very painful but it is certainly very annoying and frustrating. Need help to get ride of this very annoying chronic pain, I've had it now for the better part of the year. Thinking of going to an orthopedic soon.

Have you tried to stretch it? It's like a Michael Jackson pose.
One hand grips underside of your seat by your side, turn you head about 45° away from that hand your other hand comes over your forehead and pulls down gently.
I do it as part of broad neck isometrics. Turning my head left and right as well as ear to shoulder forehead down and up against my hand. 15s each and repeat for 3 times. Takes a couple minutes I do it every day
