About your question, I know the feeling a little, and especially in the morning its the worst! Still it is also the best time to do something about it, however maybe in the morning only focus on stretching that part out very gently to start with, have a look at my video "yoga for neck pain" to get an idea. If you practice stretching that part every day for a while, it will soon become easier! If possible the next stretch would be slowly rolling the body down, use your stomach muscles to support your back as you do that. What I mean with slowly rolling down is you're standing up, and you let your chin go to your chest (as far as possible) and that your head goes down first, your shoulders follow, the upper body, till your hanging forward from the hips, like a rag doll. You might have to bend your knees to be comfortable, thats fine. Make sure your head and neck are loose. I'm afraid no quick fix, just sticking with it, and if you do it will get better, and than all the other video's become easier to do. You can of course treat yourself to a massage as well. Tell the therapist about it, and that also might make the world of difference! Good luck and let me know how you get on, don't push yourself and just focus on this part of you now, the rest will come later! Yogatic! Esther Hi Louis,

The reasin being if i stand up straight even a movement as small as looking at the floor stretches the whole of my central and lower back. This makes it ver uncomfortable to stretch. Do you have any roccomendations on how to get over this?Kind reagrds,Louis Thompson Hi Esther.
