Most likely you will be given some stretches to do daily at home. In the clinic you will work on postural strengthening and realignment, management of the muscle spasm that are turning your head and manual therapy to help eliminate soft tissue restriction. Some clinics may use taping techniques to help your body stay in proper alignment and retrain your postural muscles to normal. READ MORE
