There are a lot of products out there to relieve neck pain. Most often my clients tell me how tight and uncomfortable it is at the base of their skull, a region called the occiput. Depending on how aggressive you want to get, there are a few options to soften the tension in this area. This video demonstrates the use of a pillow, foam roller, craniocradle, still point inducer, and occipivot. I’m sure there is more out there that I just don’t know about so please feel free to share with me what works for you. Of course, all these instruments are most effective when allowing your body to soften into the stretch following the John F. Barnes myofascial release stretching principles. Treat the mind and the body will follow.
