What kind of work do you do?
Have you had any previous whiplash or upper body sports injuries, falls, c spine issues?

How is your upper body posture? head forward shoulders rolled forward or hunched?

If upper-body postures could be an issue you can start working on those right away.

just a few things-
lay on foam roll or large towels rolled up tightly - pillow if needed for neck comfort - then just relax with arms at a comfortable position
