I received an Instagram question asking about how to decrease neck tightness after BJJ training.

This is a common issue as the neck is a constant area used for control as well as submissions. The neck muscles are very important in protecting you from chokes as well as for positioning among many other things.

In grappling, we tend to overuse some of the muscles surrounding the neck and as a result, tightness, increased tension, and pain can ensue.

It is vital to keep these muscles from getting too tight and sore for proper neck function but also for mobility and pain reduction.

Here are my key tips and exercises that I focus on to help with this process.

Also something that is very important to injury reduction of the neck is neck strengthening! The Iron Neck is one of the best pieces of equipment that I have found to help with neck strength, mobility, and decreased risk of neck injury!

In this sequence, I take my training partner “Adam” through one of the best stretching and mobility sequences for groin tightness using the Butterfly Stretch position.

Adam has had recurrent tightness in the groin and inner thigh which has led to pain, limited hip motion, and has impacted his BJJ training.

In this video, he makes a drastic improvement in his hip mobility in under 5 minutes using the techniques we went over!

I apply FRC (Functional Range Conditioning) principles into the treatment which have been an integral and very effective part of my one-on-one training.

In this video I answer a Youtube question about a knee injury that has limited the amount of bend in the knee. I discuss any whether there are some dangers in training without full knee motion.

I also talk about a few positions to avoid as well as position to use if you have limited knee bending and a really effective technique that can help improve knee bending (aka knee flexion).
