I can do pec stretches provided my neck isn't flared up. If my neck is flared up, then chances are, your pec stretching will backfire.
Another tip I recently learnt. Being more and more bound to the bed etc, I was propping my head up and reading. It made things much worse. If you must do this, make sure the pillow and support are from the shoulders and not the neck. Otherwise, it forces the bottom of the neck into further flexion, and activates the scalenes.
The things we learn..
Thanks! Will give it a try. I have been doing scalene massage with my hands, along with a solid amount of neck stretching every day, but maybe a tennis ball will work better.
