Staying active is key to managing neck pain. Gentle exercises help maintain cervical range of motion and reduce stiffness. Stretching and strengthening exercises can be an effective way to relieve tension and improve neck function. Activities like Tai Chi and yoga can also be beneficial for neck health.
