You briefly said to avoid some exercises. What exercises should you avoid if someone has neck pain?
I’m am trying to understand better when to use these exercises and when it would not be helpful. I have clients who have shoulder issues. I want to be sure I pick the right exercises for the right issue. Also, the issue of neck pain came up when I tried some of these exercises. So therefore should we avoid those?
All good points in this thread… Just one to add.
If you believe that the neck pain is due to a medical condition then either the person will have a diagnosis / clearance from a medical professional or they will not. If they have clearance, you can follow any guidance given from the doctor or therapist. It is beyond scope of practice for a trainer to prescribe specific exercises for a medical condition.
