   if you’ve had it for only a short time, over the counter pain meds/antiinflammatories and warmth usually help.

   you say you’ve had it for weeks.
   Maybe it’s time to see a doctor who might recommend some other meds (e.g. muscle relaxants) or manual therapy.

   The muscle spasms can be taken care of by getting the muscles to relax. for the neck it’s a little more difficult because of the large amount of muscles and how they wrap around your head for your movement. Because this pain can also be a part of other back pains I am sending a release for the back as well as the neck. Here they are:
   For your neck:
   place your hand alongside your head and push your thumb in under your ear and place it on the muscle there. Take your fingers and place them on the back of your neck on the muscles there. Press them together and hold a good amount of pressure on them. Then relax, take a deep breath an happening, the muscle going limp under the pressure. Continue to hold until the entire muscle has gone limp.
   Back:
   Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
   The one for your neck is the important one. If you have any trouble with it contact me and I will work through it with you.
