INSIGHT

Why Neck Muscles Tire Easily

  • Neck muscles work constantly to support the head against gravity and are prone to fatigue and strain.
  • That constant load makes neck pain a nearly universal experience at some point in life.
ANECDOTE

  • Fabian Morales described his decade as the NBA medical director as formative for prevention work.
  • He stresses that prevention is easier than treating established neck problems.
ADVICE
