What causes chronic neck pain?
Chronic neck pain generally occurs when there is pressure overload on the muscles around the neck area. The pain is characterized by muscle spasms which are amplified by poor posture. This is especially true with people working in the office and sitting in front of the computer or being hunched over while performing a task for hours at a time.
This unhealthy routine eventually causes the muscles in the neck to overload with the weight and amount of pressure it can withstand. With the Active Release Techniques or ART, this chronic neck pain will be significantly alleviated if not totally treated.
