I hate the idea of fearing movement so much that turning your head is “risking neck injury”.
I find it more likely that avoiding head movement causes neck injury. And harboring the idea that movement is something to fear and your body is fragile and unadaptable probably one of the greatest predictors of neck pain.
- steve1977 2y agoIt’s maybe less the “turning” but the “keep turned” for a prolonged time.
- lazyeye 2y agoThis sounds like a great example of "motivated reasoning". In almost any profession that requires some form of repetitive movement you are going to suffer physical deterioration with time beyond what is considered normal ageing. Excessive neck movement will be no different.
- lukas099 2y agoWho suffers more 'physical deterioration', someone who walks 1 mile every day (about as repetitive as movement gets) or someone who is bedridden? You're not a car, you're an adaptable organism.
- lazyeye 2y agoA person who runs all day, every day, from the hours of 9 to 5, for decades, suffers the most 'physical deterioration'.
