Tried meditation or relaxation techniques?? Stretching your neck regularly might help too...

1. Chin down on your chest, and push the top of your head to the ceiling, whilst dropping your shoulders. Try not to move your head from side to side as this will make your neck go spang and your ears will tingle.

2. Push your chin up to the ceiling whilst keeping your shoulders down (good for excercising those extra chins).

3. With head dead straight and facing straight ahead, tip head to left, dropping right shoulder, and vice versa.

4. with head in last position, make a whole rotation roll, dropping alternate shoulders as you get to them.

5. Finish with a shoulder roll, pushing both shoulders backwards and forwards, repeat with altnerate shoulders and relax.

These can be done at your desk (or in the toilet if you work open plan) or on the bus/train/car at the lights, and don't need equipment.

Never stretch till it hurts. If it hurts, you're damaging something.
