Neck problems and heat

[Catrin]

You sound like me. Doing bad stuff in the gym & suffering afterwards.

But I echo Wahine about the shape of the pillow. I have one of those pillows and when it is positioned correctly, it's a wonderful thing with heat. Do you have nerve involvement with your neck?

Microwavable cervical pills? That sounds awesome and I will check it out!!! My neck issues are many...I do not go overhead at all outside of lighter weight medball slams, and typically I don't do those. Between my neck and shoulder I can't do any overhead work with proper form, which means I don't do it. Anything below shoulder height is fine, including back squats. Just no more jumping weighted BB squats Front squats ARE a problem, but that is from my shoulder, not my neck. My shoulder prevents my hands from getting into the proper position which also means I can't hinge properly at the hips which means...my coach generally makes me stop and move to KB goblet squats instead.
