I had very similar issue. Myofascial release helped me. Good Luck.

Doing your own neck would be hard. Myofascial release requires knowing where in the muscle tissue the nerves are. The muscle is massaged around the nerve and the nerve itself is massaged. The theory is that a muscle becomes tight and then locks up. The massage allows the muscle to release. More than one treatment is often required.

My neurologist helped me with tight neck muscles. Muscle relaxer shots or Botox usually keeps tight neck muscles at bay. She also recommended physical therapy to keep the neck muscles from spasm.
