I had physical therapy for my C spine. I have DDD, bone spurs, reversed lordosis, disc bulges, etc.

They did exercises-
corner wall push outs
Rubber bands (thera bands)
Exercycle - just the arms, not the pedals
Flex wands - I called them wiggle stix.
Neck moves - turn side to side, tip side to side
Shoulder shrugs and arm circles

And they did -
electro stim ( light electricl zaps that make your muscles twitch a little)
Heating pad
Gentle massage on the neck

After this I was worn out but not sore. I did go home and rest on PT days.


hope that helps some.
