Bone bulge behind neck

Many people's jobs require them to maintain a fixed posture for a long time, which puts a lot of pressure on the neck. Neck problems have become increasingly prominent in recent years. The occurrence of various neck problems has a great impact, some of which are even difficult to judge, such as the protrusion of bones behind the neck is very confusing. Fortunately, the problem is not very serious and can be alleviated to a great extent by taking good methods.

Since we often play with mobile phones, long-term or incorrect way of lowering the head can cause a big bag behind the neck. Normally, the action of lowering the head is completed by the cervical spine and thoracic spine at the same time. For example, when you lower your head, not only the cervical spine does a forward flexion movement, but the thoracic spine also flexes to work together. This way, the amplitude of the movement will not only be increased but also there will be no discomfort.

If you try to lower your head without moving your thoracic spine and only flexing your cervical spine, the force cannot be transmitted well to each segment of the spine, and an excessively large stress point will appear at the position of C7 and T1. This will cause the tension at the position of C7 and T1 to increase, resulting in fascia thickening and bone hyperplasia, which will cause a big lump behind the neck. Therefore, you must change the wrong way of lowering your head to prevent the big lump behind the neck from further deteriorating.

1. Manual release to improve posture problems such as forward head movement

Lie on the bed and rotate your head to one side, slightly lift your head off the bed, you will clearly see this muscle, gently pinch its belly with your fingers, continue for three minutes or when the pain is reduced by half, stop loosening.

2. Gentle pressure to metabolize waste soft tissue

Lie on the bed, use the tips of your thumbs to push from the cervical spine to the shoulders and back, and use the technique to metabolize the discarded soft tissue around the neck. It is recommended to apply some massage oil such as Vaseline when doing this, and the effect will be better.

3. Thoracic curvature

Sit on a chair with your hands on your knees, push the erector spinae muscles on your back with your fists, exert force in the forward and downward direction, and exert force in the opposite direction to assist the thoracic spine in flexing forward to change the wrong movement pattern.

4. Train the neck extensor muscles to improve muscle tension. Lie prone on the bed with your head off the bed and tighten your jaw, hold static for two minutes. Do four to six sets. If the feeling is not strong, you can lift both hands off the bed at the same time until your neck muscles feel sore. 5. Lifestyle, return to normal posture If you can follow the first four methods to train every day, then please do not ignore the last step, because no matter how hard you train every day, if your lifestyle habits do not change, it will be in vain.
