And more painful, and easy to be forced to drive to the front orientation, we should pay attention to correct the direction in time, and do more side direction lifting movement.  (2) The patient stands upright and raises both hands forward to the flat shoulder position, and then swings separately to the two lateral and posterior directions, the pain will definitely increase when swinging backward, but try to do so.  (3) Rotation movement of both shoulders and hands together, the patient stands upright, both elbows are properly flexed, while lifting outward and backward to make circles, the circles are from small to large, try to draw circles.  (4) head and neck movement, the patient upright, can sit, the head and neck to the back of the extension, followed by the head to the left and right sides as far as possible swing, at this time the cervical spine can be a sound, do not be afraid, is good, but if the head and neck to the back of the difficult or pain, is not normal, indicating that your cervical spine has problems, please find a rehabilitation doctor to check.
