Eponagirl..

Thank you for your great response. We have a appt with her Primary Care doc tomorrow and was going to ask about physical therapy. The stiffness and pain in the neck isn't always there the past 3 months but it comes when stress, over exertion, etc.

I don't exactly get the following technique. (You find the widest part of her ear and trace that place to the back of her head). Can you try another way? I'll try reading again later in the day

As long as there is not swelling inside her skull, you can take 2 tennis balls and tie them into a sock, then have her lay on the floor with her head resting on the tennis balls. You find the widest part of her ear and trace that place to the back of her head, that is where you place the tennis balls...her forehead will be higher than her chin.

Work up to 10-15 minutes, starting with a minute or two. It may be slightly uncomfortable as her head relaxes and makes changes as the muscles, etc find their way back to what is correct. Or, she may not feel anything at all, but more relaxed. Either is normal.
