Hey there, This is not the easiest to answer without an in person evaluation, but I would recommend shoulder rolls, wall angels, and possibly a doorway stretch for the pectoralis muscles. It could be neck related in origin or it could be the shoulders or both. These exercises should help some and should have examples available on YouTube. Hope this helps or at least starts you in the right direction.

Can physical therapy help disc hernia?

Yes! I don't know how long it has been since the herniation happened, but typically the earlier you get PT after a disc injury the better and quicker your recovery will be. PT will not "fix" the herniation (you can't put the jelly back inside of a jelly donut once you squeeze it out haha), but between the manual therapy techniques for spine mobility and pain control, education on prevention and positioning, core stabilization exercises, and nerve glides to help the spinal cord and nerves in the back to continue to stay flexible, PT is absolutely crucial in this case. I say find the PT in your area that is the BEST for back pain issues and go for it!
