For chronic neck stiffness/pain, the following measure may be helpful.
- Do regular exercises, stretching for your neck and upper body. If you tend to get neck pain from exercise, apply ice to your neck after physical activity.
- Use good posture when sitting and sleeping, adjust your computer monitor to eye level, avoid bending over a desk.
- Use seat belts and bike helmets to prevent injuries.
