Improving the sleeping posture: resting the neck in a comfortable and proper position.
Not sleeping on a very high and firm pillow.
Refraining from strenuous activities for a couple of days.
Ice and heat therapy: some people like the feeling of cold on their strained area while others prefer the feeling of hot. Both ice and hot therapy can provide comfort to the pain, swelling and bruising. Ice or heat should be selected according to oneās preference. A layer should be kept in between the skin and the ice or heated substance. An application of 20 mins is enough to reduce the pain and provide comfort.
Taking over the counter pain medication: taking oral painkillers like Advil, Aleve, Tylenol, etc. can help in case of extreme pain. Although one should contact a doctor before taking any medications. (note: it is advisable to contact a doctor before trying out the medications)
Massage therapy: gently massaging the area can help in providing comfort.
Physical therapy: if the pain doesnāt go away in a few days then one can opt for some physical therapy like gentle neck exercises.
Take a good rest.
Eat healthy and nutritious food
Drinking plenty of water to keep the body hydrated.
To stay active: complete bed rest can cause more harm. So, it is better to be physically active and to indulge in light tasks. It is recommendable to avoid heavy tasks like lifting heavy weights, carrying heavy bags, etc.
Starting slowly: when starting any new activity or sport, the process should be taken slowly and shouldnāt be thought to be achieved in one single go. The muscle strength builds up gradually and performing it at a manageable pace will ensure safety.
Focusing on postures: focusing on working, sleeping, walking and eating postures.
Taking breaks: taking breaks between repetitive activities or strenuous tasks.
Getting a good sleep: getting a good sleep in proper posture on a low pillow can help in faster recovery.
Gentle exercises: doing gentle neck exercises can help it to recover faster. One should keep in mind that they shouldnāt put extra pressure that they cannot bear. Or else, it will cause more harm to the already strained region.
Therapies for neck sprain can help to maintain healthy blood circulation, which can prevent the risk of blood clot complications.

Resolve360 is great platform for online physiotherapy.
I was suffering from scapula dyskinesia and had lot of pain in right shoulder movement. I was introduced to Resolve 360 by my oncologist.
Within a month (26 sessions) there was a considerable improvement. Sessions are very cost-effective and doctors are very kind and efficient.
Doctor David has been really great and helpful. I would highly recommend Resolve 360.
I took prenatal care program from Resolve 360. Dr. Preyrna was assigned to me and she has done commendable job. I did prenatal exercises under her supervision, she designed program according to my body need. With her help my pregnancy was healthy and I got good dilations at the time of delivery. I am blessed with a healthy baby girl and very happy with Resolve 360.
Best therapy sessions that too at home and timings are very flexible. I had a issue in my neck and lower back since almost 4 to 5 years, taken so many treatments and physio sessions. But all gave a temporary relief. Then my friend referred me this Resolve 360 in 2020, in starting i was hesitant as everything was online, but after taking almost 10 sessions i got much relief, and now i am almost free of pain. Thanks to the team of Resolve 360.
I had online Physiotherpy sessions by Prerana for my heel pain. ( Tendo Achilis Sprain).
Though virtual, it was more interactive.
She was very observant throughout the sessions, correcting me while doing the exercises and was assertive in her outlook.
I found her instructions and methodology very helpful. She is updated in her academic knowledge in the field of Physiotherpy. She clarified my doubts about the role of Laser and Ultrasound treatment quoting evidence based data. With my personal experience I agree with her opinion that these are more of placebo effect.
Physiotherpy though not a miracle treatment, is a compelling necessity to most of the musculoskeletal and neurological illnesses. It needs to be accepted as healthy way to live.
From being a couch potato with poor cardio respiratory system to reaching pre-athlete levels of fitness in a span of 3 months, my journey with Resolve360 and Dr.David (Physiotherapist) has been anything but magical!
About 3 to 4 months ago, my blood report showed very high bad cholesterol levels, I was low on stamina and had frequent breathing issues. My GP prescribed me cholesterol meds for a month but I felt that alone wouldnāt get me back in shape because I needed a major lifestyle overhaul.
Dr.David educated me about my condition in detail and where it could lead me to if I donāt take action in the long run. He put me on a balanced workout regime being easy with cardio workouts in the initial days and gradually upgraded it observing me closely. He also advises me on dietary choices and follows up frequently. During the initial days, my ears used to get blocked within 5 wall squats and I stop right away but now I do over 20 in one shot and hardly feel a thing. I used to lose balance and fall off over my face within 6 push-ups or 20 seconds of plank and now I do about 24 push-ups in one shot. My heart rate used to raise above 150 bpm doing jumping jacks or other cardio workout within 20-30 seconds. You wonāt believe I donāt do any of these cardio workouts without additional weights on my feet these days and my heart rate and recovery are as steady as they could get. I couldnāt run for over 2 min without stopping and gasping and now I cover about 4.6 km in 30 min and follow-up with a 20 min walk. Not convinced yet? My VO2 Max (I use an Apple Watch to measure this stat) was just about 33 while I started with Resolve360 and David. That reflects a very poor cardio respiratory fitness for a 34 year old. Itās 43.5 today ! Easily above average. Please read upon about VO2 Max and how it directly relates to cardio respiratory fitness so you get an accurate picture about my monumental progress in the last 3 months. Iāve been trying to get into a regular physical workout and balanced diet discipline since my 20s but Iād never been so motivated as Iām now. Give these guys a try. After all, the best investment you could ever make is on your health !
We contacted resolve360 for our child speech issue and I must say Resolve 360 team and Apoorva doing a wonderful job.

She has given us enough confidence, due to her efforts and excellent service, we are seeing good improvements for my child speech & communication skills.
