These suggestions are directed at the overuse injuries.

It can come from whiplash or other trauma, but 85% of the time it has a mechanical cause often due to how we sit and work at a computer.
The job your neck has to perform is relatively simple.
It is rarely asked to lift anything other than its own weight.
It is however heavy (about the weight of a bowling ball) and is balanced on top of your spine (imagine a bowling ball resting on top of a 6 stick).
