Riding a bike for me lately has been a pain in the neck, literally. From the middle of my neck down to my to about my shoulder blades has been hurting along my spine. I noticed it most while riding, but the pain was hanging around days after my last ride. Where I work has an ergonomic consulting/ exercise therapy firm come in from time to time to deal with issues that we may be having. I took the opportunity to visit them and see if they could help me with my neck pain. The consultant asked a few questions and pressed several places on my neck to pin point where to pain was. She showed my several stretches that I could do and recommended using ice if the stretches did not do the job. I am happy to report that before and after today's bike ride that I did the exercises that were shown to me and I was pain free. :D I just brought this up because I know that sometime that we all pain that we can't seem to get rid of and I am hoping to give some information that might help out any of the members here.
