Neck pain effects 30%-50% of the population very year. One of the top contributors of neck pain is the tension in your upper back. All the way down to the 4th vertebrae in your thoracic spine (middle back) helps move your neck. The tension in the upper back does not allow the C7-T4 vertebrae (joints) to move to their full potential. This causes the overuse of the neck (typically C5-C6) eventually leading to pain. By doing the exercises prescribed you'll increase the mobility of the upper back and strengthen your serratus anterior, relieving your neck.
