Neck pain in women is often induced by muscle strain, tendonitis, arthritis or a condition called frozen shoulder. In frozen shoulder, the shoulder gets stiff and can not move freely. Fibromylagia can also be another cause of neck pain.

To understand why neck pain occurs, it’s useful to think of the neck as a type of “ball and socket” construction that is held together by muscles, tendons and ligaments. These structures allow the neck a wide range of motion but also keep it stable.

Women are more likely to have displacement and impingement type injuries to their necks.

Other problems:
A common problem for women is frozen shoulder. For various reasons, the ligaments that go around the ball-and-socket joint become inflamed. The ache causes a decrease in use of the shoulder. As a result, the ligaments do not get stretched and the shoulder begins to tighten up.

Saving shoulders:
Women may be able to carry the world on their shoulders, but this should only be attempted if their shoulders are in good shape. Before starting in exercise or strenuous chores, warm up and stretch the neck to get them ready for exertion.

Simple forward and backward arm circles can help limber them up.

When the muscles are used for a sustained period of time to do things like clip the hedge, paint a room or turn over the garden, muscle fatigue and pain can result. So taking a break is important. Watch the work surface.

While lifting something pay attention to the position of the head and bend at the knees to pick something up and hold the item close to the body. The stronger the muscles in the shoulder, the more stable and less prone to injury it will be.
