Stiff neck, causing pain for my grandma. Any remedies, or gadgets?
My grandma is very ill. Alot of it I can’t take away, but I often give her neck massages to help ease the discomfort.
But her neck is unbelievably stiff. The worst I’ve ever massaged -coming from someone who heavily looked into being a massage therapist.
For an early x-mas present, I’m hiring a massage therapist. But are there also any gadgets that help? Or advice?
Price isn’t a limit
Try moist heat before the massage. Take a towel, soak it with hot water, ring it out then wrap it around the back of her neck. Do this several times at least twice a day. Three would be better. After the heat treatment, massage her neck starting at about the middle of the back, by the shoulder blades, and work up to behind the neck at the base of the skull. When you reach the muscles going up to the base of skull, put a little extra pressure there and hold, then go up as far as you can. Afterward rub her neck using some Aspercreme or any topical pain cream. Wishing you the very best young lady and a pat on the back for taking care of Grandma. You must really love her. Good luck.
