Hiya,

you go careful on that release stuff in AS lots of things can go wrong in the neck it can be dangerous! Please trust me on that and straining the supporting soft tissue can/will aggavate things long term.......please please be careful! been there and suffered for it!

Any mobilisation here has to be carefully managed new lesions can be formed very quickly, and not only in the bones discs ligaments also nerves stretched and blood vessels damaged!!!!

Do this sort of release under someone competent who's checked your scans and knows the risks involved.....liekly as I 've been told we will not attempt that ......

Try putting tiger balm over the area honest provides lots of relief will relax the muscles and then try yth stretches etc
