I'm using yoko yoko now. Just found out that there is a no smell type.

Smell like a walking ko yo.

 

Funny thing is my pillow is memory pillow form seahorse. Supposed to be good...

 

 

yoko yoko does not work for me...

 

i think maybe the memory pillow to hard... try to put a softer cotton pillow on top

No choice.. for temp relieve so that i can travel to work.

Imagine having to turn whole body checking blind spot. Super retard.

 

Ya the pillow.. i've always wondered why is it good when it's hard.

Thanks..

Shd be going to either a western doc or tcm tmr.

Getting more retard by the minute.

If you do not have hot pack, you can do hot shower.

Just run the warm water on your neck for 5-10 minutes. That will relax the muscles.

 

Then apply your yoko and keep your neck warm when you go to bed.

 

When you apply yoko, can also massage you neck. Just use your thumb to press down the muscle, hold for a few seconds before release.

Trace along the neck.

Don't have it leh.

Tried the shoulder heat pad from osim. useless.

it will work but takes longer time.

If need quick relief then can go to physio and they will use ultrasound or shortwave your neck. That, you will have immediate relief after the session.

 

Chiro... you think your problem is long term then see chiro.

Must be a pulled nerve and muscle.

Need ample rest.

If cannot take leave, then avoid the workstation. Most likely the office position is causing it to be worst.

 

Best to take a good rest this weekends. Saturday n Sunday...rest at home.

Sleep in a correct position and DON'T try to massage or stretch the neck, it will make it worst!

 

Let it heal naturally.

I had stiff neck last month and also I use those memory pillow....

I discard the memory pillow and got a soft cotton pillow as I found out that side sleeper like me not suittable to use memory pillow or firm ones and true enough after 1st night I woke up better and 2nd day I am ok already ^_^

 

Moral of my 2cents story is expensive and well know may not be best for everyone as my $7.90 pillow told me while I was sleeping [cool] try a new pillow dude it may help u [:)]

I think doing regular exercises would be good enough already. Used to have stiff neck very often. At least once or twice a week. Started exercising regularly for about 1-2 hours a day and I have not had a stiff neck for the past few months. Even my usual joint pains also all gone.

The moment you have stiff neck when you wake up from sleep, do some neck exercise immediately.

Turn your head to the left and right slowly, feel the neck muscle pulling. Do it a few times.It works for me.

pillow also a factor. used to have a thick one. always have stiff neck after every few months. the height actually caused stress to the neck as the head is up higher than the body.

 

later changed to a much thinner memory one. it helped..
