Say Good-Bye to Neck Pain

The good news is Geezer will not, under any circumstances, resort to the cliche :"pain in the neck" in either the headline or the lead for this story about pain in the neck, The bad news is that he has nothing else to use, so he will jump right to the story, and will make it fast. The LA Times consults Dr. Stephen Rice, director of sports medicine at Jersey Shore
University Medical Center in Neptune, N.J., about chronic neck pain. Rice suggests that the cause is often poor posture, and fitness routines that do nothing  to strengthen muscles that support the neck. So what should we be doing? This:
Two sets of six to eight reps, twice a week, of the following, placing your hand on your head to provide moderate resistance:
Lower chin to chest (hand on forehead).
Raise chin toward ceiling (hand on back of head).
Ear to each shoulder (hand on side of head).
Turn head to each side (hand on chin).
