6 Easiest Ways to Cure a Stiff Neck

While I was in Sri Lanka I woke up with a stiff neck so I did a bunch of research on how to get rid of it. This post summaries my research down to what I have found to be the 6 easiest ways to cure a stiff neck.

A sore or stiff neck is not uncommon for travelers seeing as we seem to sleep in awkward positions more often than the normal crowd (like when doing overnight bus journeys or all those hour spent on planes or even the airport floor.)

In fact, even when not traveling I spend a lot of time in front of the computer which is not that great for posture and bad posture is the main culprit for a stiff neck, i.e., having your head leaning forward puts strain on the neck. Other forms of bad posture are usually in the way of bad sleeping positions.

Another cause for a stiff neck is due to sudden jerking force that may happen in a accident or during contact sports. Even a very forceful sneeze may result in a stiff neck.
